Considerations for Financial Advisor Compensation and Value Add to ClientsJohn Ludes
The landscape is shifting and the rules of engagement have changed for advisor commissions and compensation. The ability to demonstrate both prudency and transparency are rapidly becoming a minimum requirement for clients as well as regulators. Firms now face a wide array of options for addressing these changes.
Regardless of strategy however, increased reliance will be placed on automated tools and workflows to build compliance and transparency into every client transaction, simplify management of third-party payments, and provide a full audit trail.
Process approach and automation will be key, and this webinar will explore both the options as well as provide real-world insight to help you move forward with confidence.
Join John Ludes from Broadridge and Chris Zabik of PNC Bank, as they discuss the various challenges and industry approaches to commission and compensation management.

The future of government fiscal reporting - Alan Greenslade, Australia
1. 1
Simplification of Government
Financial Statements – the Australian
Experience
Alan Greenslade
First Assistant Secretary, Financial Analysis Reporting and
Management
Department of Finance
2. 2
Background
Uses of independently set IFRS based standards
o similar to IPSAS standards
GFS overlay at Consolidated level
Standards are designed for full requirements of GPFR
Disclosure requirements are set by the accounting standards
Around 200 reporting entities
March 2017
3. 3
Drivers for simplification
Financial statements have a limited readership
o Users interested in more timely and accessible information
o Budget papers are simpler and more widely read
o Final Budget Outcome is more accessible and timely
Accretion of “clutter” over time
o over-explanation of detailed matters
o technical worthiness tending to override readers’ needs
o use of statements for “other” accountability purposes
Cost of preparation and audit
“Red Tape” initiatives
March 2017
4. 4
Simplification approach
Shorter statements (remove information overload)
Better presentation of the same information (improve clarity)
Meet the standards – don’t unneceserally exceed
Considering trade-off between reducing preparation and audit
costs vs user information needs
March 2017
5. 5
Simplification program
Rigorous review of disclosures not required by standards
Consider the materiality of some disclosures
Write technical matters for brevity and clarity
Restructuring the order of disclosure notes
RDR for most entities (that do not have complex financial risk)
March 2017
6. 6
Implementation considerations
Important to have the auditors “on side”
Costs are mostly up front and can be seen as an investment
Reducing and simplifying entity financial statements adds to
the processes, costs and risks of W-o-G consolidation
March 2017
7. 7
Process steps
New Financial Reporting Rules for entities
o simpler, shorter and clearer
Entities were enabled and encouraged to have “fit for purpose”
disclosures
Model financial statements showing how the most common
disclosures could be better presented
Guide provided to entities to support simplification
o including a checklist for better presentation
March 2017
8. 8
Benefits realised
Less volume – 30% reduction in pages, leading to:
o Better understanding
o Less technical information eg accounting policies
o Less information overload
Streamlined preparation process
Auditors and audit committees have less to review
March 2017
9. 9
Matters to be resolved
Limitations on simplification imposed by accounting standards
Implementing RDR
Tension between readability expectations and accountability
expectations
A high proportion of disclosure notes are still highly technical
Look again at the requirements of the standards
o supported by the standard setter
March 2017
