Opening Comments
11. Over the last decade, many Australians have sought financial advice. Over the
same period, the financial advice industry has grown significantly.
The FAR jumped to over 28,000 at the end of 2018 (due to FASEA legislation
commencing 1 Jan 2019)
Market changes – banks divesting out of wealth management (advice)
The Productivity Commission has noted that in 2015/2016 the financial advice
sector was estimated to be worth $4.6 billion in revenue.
Overview
16. “The financial advice
industry is part way
through transformation
from an industry
dedicated to the sale of
financial products to a
profession concerned
with the provision of
financial advice”.
Source: Kenneth M Hayne Commissioner, Royal
Commission Final Report Volume 1 2019
17. To complete
the transition
we will be
required to do
the following:
(1) taking steps to deal
with those involved in the
charging of ‘fees for no
service’, and to ensure that
it does not happen again;
(2) reducing the conflicts of
interest that pervade the
industry; and
(3) introducing a credible
and coherent disciplinary
system for financial
advisers.

Editor's Notes
Government to review to success of FOFA, FASEA, LIF and RC recommendation implementation in 3 years time (2022)
2.2. where you aren’t independent, you need to disclose in writing that you aren’t impartial or unbiased before providing advice services.
2.1 Change opt-in to an annual opt-in, and require annual authorisations to collect fees from products.
2.4 Ban grandfathered commissions ASAP
2.5 Following review of LIF – consider if life insurance commissions should be reduced to 0%
3.2 and 3.3 – No advice fees from MySuper products. Limit advice fees from choice products. Advice would need to relate specifically to that product, not other products or broader clients financial position. Very strict interpretation of sole purpose test.
2.7 All licensees must adhere to ABA Reference checking protocol. FPA working with other associations on this already
2.8 Quarterly reporting of compliance concerns about planners by licensee. This wouldn’t need to be confirmed breaches, but that there are problems identified
2.9 Where misconduct and breaches are identified against a planner, licensees must pro-actively inform all of their clients, and remediate.
2.10 Introduce a new individual licensing regime and a new disciplinary authority to deal with individual financial planners (i.e. remove this function from ASIC).
Firstly why did the FPA decide to do this? – I have said it before that we believe that a process designed by advisers for advisers was a better solution for our members than a commercial alternative
Announced in December that we had submitted a draft application and this has been at a significant cost to the FPA
We are delighted – and I commend Dante for his work here – that we have for the first time been able to have all the major member associations in the advice space sign a cooperation agreement to work on a single solution
These associations continue on a working committee, will elect a member to the Board of the entity and will provide subject matter experts to the disciplinary panels as required
2.9 Where misconduct in identified by a licensee from a planner, they must let clients know, and remediate the client.
4.11 Licensees will have license obligations added to co-operate with AFCA. This is a contractual requirement between licensees and AFCA at present, but will become a license condition.
7.1 Introduction of a prospective compensation scheme of last resort – kicks in where licensees fail to compensate clients for EDR or court determinations.
