Are you one of the 89% of the Licensee population who hasn’t lodged a breach report to ASIC?
ASIC’s Report 775 released on 31 October shows that only 11% of licensees have lodged a report. This is a surprisingly low number and suggests that some licensees may not have in place the systems and processes required to detect and report breaches. Do you?
7 deadly sins and the advice process
What do the Seven Deadly Sins have in common with the Advice Processes? We explored the common sins we see causing ineffective advice processes and what businesses should be focusing on.
Government announces QAR response
Conrad Travers shares his thoughts about Minister Stephen Jones today’s announcements in mid June 2023 regarding the government’s response to the Quality of Advice Review (QAR).
A summary of the government’s response; assuming this passes the legislative process:
Safe harbour removed from BID.
Ongoing fee renewal (FDS) removed and fee consent to be consolidated in one industry wide form.
SOA replaced with "fit for purpose" advice record
Wholesale warnings to come in
Consent requirements for life, general and CCI
“I need technology to solve inefficiencies…I think?”
We worked with a fantastic one adviser practice struggling with advice process, documentation and the value provided for clients.
Attempts to get guidance from their licensee and turning to a technology solution to generate filenotes quicker failed, as neither option was customized nor getting to the root of their problems.
Case study: Help us to simplify compliance
A mid-tier licensee not sure where to start got a simplified compliance approach, 40% improved paraplanning turnaround and an uptick in adviser engagement
Get to the point - clear advice will win out
Tangelo Advice Consulting’s Conrad Travers was quoted in Professional Planner’s coverage of the Quality of Advice Review discussion at the FAAA’s 2023 United Association Roadshow in May 2023.
Tangelo Advice Consulting principal consultant Conrad Travers predicted licensees would adapt and lift the supervision and monitoring frameworks in place to make sure the advice being given is clear. “I would recommend for new clients, even if they don’t ask for it, to give them a simple summary of the advice,” Travers said. “That could be five pages and make the advice really clear – what are you recommending and what are the next steps to the client. Beneath that, cover off the additional scenarios that you might have considered just in summary format, then the risks and the fees. If you do that, that’s best interest.”
