MEMORANDUM FOR: Advice Compliance and Culture Committee ('ACCC')
FROM: Pally Bargri, Chief Risk Officer - Advice
SUBJECT: Ongoing Service Fees ('OSF') Remediation Update
DATE: 11 December 2017
Purpose To provide an update to the following 3 breaches (adopting numbering in OSF Breach Table):
Breach 3 known as the Additional BOLR Breach; Breach 4 known as the Terminated Advisers Breach; and Breach 5 known as the ipac Breach

Addressed in paper 0'
Not relevant to paper Implications for customers Implications for capital Risks arising and their mitigants Conflicts of interest or duty arising
Discussion topics and questions Additional BOLR Breach Terminated Advisers Breach ipac Breach
Background:
AMP needs to undertake customer remediation in relation to three Ongoing Service Fee (OS F) breaches (adopting the numbering convention from the OSF Breach Table):
Breach 3 - Additional BOLR breach notified 3 May 2017 Breach 4 - Terminated Adviser breach notified 3 May 2017 Breach 5 - ipac breach notified 8 June 2017
Investigations for all breaches are continuing, to identify impacted customers and take remedial steps required to transfer policies and clients as appropriate.
Progress since last update:
3. Additional BOLR breach
The customer accounts attached to the seller IDs have been identified and instruction has been issued to product providers to transfer those accounts to the Licensee buyback IDs or to the new Adviser who is servicing the accounts. The progress currently sits at 92%, as although the transfers for all accounts in AMP product suites is complete and instructions have been issued to all external product providers, at the targeted completion date of 30 November 2017 we did not

CONFIDENTIAL
receive confirmation from those external providers that the customer accounts have been transferred.
The handover to the Review and Remediation team remains at 15 December 2017. Remediation on these accounts will begin after Review and Remediation team has sampled tested the transfers, and scoped the remediation.
4. Terminated Advisers
The impacted customer accounts are progressively being transferred to the Licensee buyback IDs. Ongoing instructions are being issued to all product providers, and we are seeking confirmation from those providers that the transfers have been completed. This investigative and transfers phase is on track to provide the customer data to the Review and Remediation team customer data by 28 February 2018.
ipac is nearing the completion of its investigation into fees for no service on AMP customer accounts retained in generic sales IDs. The handover to the Review and Remediation team has been pushed out from 30 November 2017 to 22 December 2017 due to the requests of archived files.
In parallel, there is an investigation of customer accounts from External Product Providers where data collection has commenced. This requires full co-operation of external providers to complete a reconciliation. Assuming full co-operation, this reconciliation has a targeted completion date of 30 June 2018.

Advice Culture & Compliance Board Committee - Work streams update
This Q&A is to help contact centres respond to those customers affected by the ongoing service fee remediation who call AMP for more information.
Q. What is the issue?
AMP has recently undergone an analysis of ongoing service fees and found instances where the fees have still been charged after the adviser/customer relationship has ended.
Ongoing service fees are deducted from a customer's account by way of an agreement between the customer and the adviser. The fee is charged for payment of service provided by the adviser to the customer i.e. financial advice. When the relationship between the customer and adviser no longer exists, the customer should not be charged the fees as they are no longer receiving the service.
The error has been fixed and we are now refunding these fees, plus missed earnings, to customers.
Q. How are customers being notified?
• All customers will receive notifications via their account statements.
• For remediation amounts of more than $50, customers will also receive a letter. Letters will be sent to customers on 5 February, 2016
• For remediation amounts of more than $1,000 customers will receive a letter and a phone call from AMP Direct for U2 and Unit Trust products or from the North Service Centre for North Products.
Q. How has AMP fixed the issue?
To fix the issue:
• AMP has switched off the ongoing fees for the customers no longer in an advice relationship
• All affected customers will be reimbursed all service fees charged in error (less any rebates) plus any missed earnings, restoring them to the position they would have been in had the error not occurred.
• AMP will write to those customers who are most affected on 5 February, 2016 and this may lead to phone calls in relation to the issue.

Q. Why did this happen?
The customer/adviser relationship will usually stop when the adviser retires or when the customer chooses to deal directly with AMP. In some instances when this has occurred an administrative error has led to the fees not being switched off and subsequently, continuing to be charged to the customer.
Q. How long has this been going on for?
For affected customers this will depend on when the agreement to have the fees deducted took effect. This can be seen using the following screen/so

Yes. Affected customers that have rolled over or closed their account before the error was identified are entitled to a refund. Where investment accounts are closed, customer will receive a cheque.

Super refund for under 55 year olds
Super refund for over 55 year olds

• As the customer is not of preservation age, the refund must be rolled over in to a super account.
• The customer is asked to nominate an alternative AMP super fund, an external super fund or an SMSF for the refund to be rolled into.
• If the customer is over 55 they may be of preservation age.
• If they are, they can nominate an alternative AMP super fund, an external super fund or an SMSF for the refund to be rolled over in to, or a bank account for it to be deposited in to.
Q. How are we refunding customers?
Open accounts
• The refund will be directly credited to the customer's account and applied using their contribution profile.
Closed accounts
• For customers with closed super accounts, we will write to them and provide a form for them to return (via reply paid envelope), documenting their preferred account for the remediation amount to be paid to.
• For customers with closed investment accounts, we will write to them and provide a cheque for the amount owing on each account.
Q. What happens for deceased customers?
A small number of customers who are eligible for a refund are now deceased. Where we know this to be the case, AMP will issue the estates of these customers with an explanatory letter and a cheque for the refund .

The fees that you were mistakenly charged were collected and held by AMP. No adviser received these fees at any time.
AMP.6000.0019.8043
Q. A customer has been told they are receiving the fee minus a rebate in their letter. Can we explain?
The reason they were not refunded the entire fee amount is because they also received a partial rebate on the fee that was charged. We have refunded you what was left owing from the fee taken in error less the rebate you previously received.
Q. The customer received a letter stating their remediation was dated 27 January as going into their account. The amount didn't appear until late in February and there was a discrepancy between amounts.
Due to a transaction upload error, the remediation amount was held up in the system. To account for this error, an additional 30 days of interest was added to the initial amount and the full amount was then uploaded at the end of February.
Q. There is a number appearing at the bottom of my customer letter. What does the number mean? Is that the number of customers affected?
The number in the footer on the first page of the customer letter is a unique identifier that the system produces automatically for AMPs reference. From your perspective as a customer It doesn't mean anything.
Q. What if the customer wants to lodge a formal complaint?
The normal process illustrated below should be followed to raise a complaint.

I don't remember ever agreeing to pay an advice fee in the beginning?
On <insert date> you entered into an ongoing service agreement with <insert adviser name>, and you began to pay an ongoing service fee of <insert $amount>.
Your advice relationship then changed to be a direct relationship with AMP. At this time our administrative systems did not switch off the service fee being charged to you, which was an error on our behalf. We're now repaying you this amount plus any missed earnings.
Between what dates were the fees deducted? The fees were deducted between <insert first date fee> and <insert last date fee>. During this time is when the administrative error occurred whereby the service fee being charged to you were not switched off.
(Please refer to the customer call spreadsheet where there are 2 columns referring to the date of the, first fee. and the date of the last fee):
Why did this happen to me?
Due to an administrative error, when your relationship changed from being with an adviser to being direct with AMP your service fees were not switched off. This was an error in our administrative system and has now been fixed. Only a small proportion of AMP customers have been affected.
How long have you been charging me this fee for?
In your case we have found the service fee charged to your account in error occurred between <insert date> and <insert date>. However, we want to let you know, so that you are not financially disadvantaged in any way we will be repaying you any fees charged in error plus missed earnings on that amount.
How did you calculate the refund amount?
Service fees charged to your account in error amounted to <insert dollar amount>. The total amount we're crediting your account is <insert dollar amount> . This has been calculated by adding the service fees charged in error and missed earnings.
(Only if the customer asks for more information about how their fees were calculated lease refer to the table "n the ap/?endix
I was de-linked from my adviser before 2010, can you re-calculate my refund based on when that happened? We have reviewed service fees charged from 1 July 2010, the commencement date for 'fee for service' for the
AMP advice licensees.

Closed accounts: my account was closed years ago, why are you contacting me now?
Even though your account is closed we still want to ensure that you 're fully aware of the service fees that were incorrectly charged to you, as well as the repayment we will make to you . We will not make any changes to the closure of your account. You will shortly receive a letter that clearly explains the repayment being made to you. For investment accounts, you will receive a cheque and for superannuation accounts we will provide a form for you to nominate your preferred payment method.
I'd like to update my details/change my investment details etc.
That's easy. I can do that for you right now.
Can I get the repayment in cash?
No, we aren't able to make payments in cash.
For open superannuation accounts, we will return the money back into the account.
For closed investment accounts, you will receive the refund by cheque which you can then take to your bank and deposit into an account of your choice.
For closed superannuation accounts, we must, by law, make the payment into another super account, unless you are of preservation age, in which case you can elect to have the payment made to your bank account. Just select your preferred payment method on the form that will be enclosed with the letter and return it to us in the reply paid envelope

This Q&A is to help contact centres respond to those customers affected by the ongoing service fee remediation who call AMP for more information.
Q. What is the issue?
AMP.6000.0019.8059
AMP Horizons Financial Group has recently undergone an analysis of ongoing service fees and found there has been a breakdown in our processes. This has meant that we have been unable to determine whether or not services were being delivered for the fees that were being charged to customers.
Ongoing service fees are deducted from a customer's account by way of an agreement between the customer and the adviser. The fee is charged for payment of service provided by the adviser to the customer i.e. financial advice.
The error has been fixed and we are now refunding all fees charged to customers, plus missed earnings, regardless of whether or not the service was delivered to so one is in any way disadvantaged.
Q. How are customers being notified?
• All customers will receive notifications via their account statements.
• For remediation amounts for active accounts of more than $50, customers will also receive a letter. Remediation of any amount for a closed account will see the customers receive a letter. Letters will be sent to customers on 13 February, 2017
• For remediation amounts of more than $1,000 for an active account, customers will receive a letter and a phone call from AMP Direct for U2 and Unit Trust products or from the North Service Centre for North Products.
Q. How has AMP fixed the issue?
To fix the issue:
• AMP Horizons Financial Group has switched off the ongoing fees for the customers still in an advice relationship with a Horizons adviser
• All affected customers will be reimbursed all service fees charged plus any missed earnings, to ensure customers are in no way disadvantaged.

! I L._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.i
• AMP will write to those customers who are most affected on 13 February, 2017 and this may lead to phone calls in relation to the issue.
Q. Why did this happen?
A breakdown in our processes meant that we were unable to determine whether a customer received the services they were paying ongoing service fees for. Due to this breakdown, AMP has decided to refund all service fees charged regardless of whether or not a service was delivered.
Q. How long has this been going on for?
For affected customers this will depend on when the client's Agreed Ongoing Service Arrangement took effect.. This can be seen using the following screen/so The refunds are being implemented to 1 January 2008 to present, however for each customer their fee period will differ but will be within this range.
For U2 - the Fee Override screen
For Trust - The Change log and Memo screens

Advice Culture & Compliance Board Committee - Work streams update
Q. Are fees being refunded even if accounts have been closed?
Yes. Affected customers that have rolled over or closed their account before the error was identified are entitled to a refund . Where investment accounts are closed, customer will receive a cheque. Where superannuation accounts are closed we will write to the customer and provide them with a form for them to return (via reply paid envelope), documenting their preferred account for the refund to be paid to.
Q. How are we refunding customers?
Open accounts
• The refund will be directly credited to the customer's account and applied using their contribution profile.
Closed accounts
• For customers with closed super accounts, we will write to them and provide a form for them to return (via reply paid envelope), documenting their preferred account for the remediation amount to be paid to.
• For customers with closed investment accounts, we will write to them and provide a cheque for the amount owing on each account.
Q. What happens for deceased customers?
A small number of customers who are eligible for a refund are now deceased. Where we know this to be the case, AMP will issue the estates of these customers with an explanatory letter and a cheque for the refund.
Q. Can affected customers receive their repayment in cash?
We are not able to pay the refunds in cash.
Q. When will fees be refunded?
Refunds were credited to affected customers from:
• U2 products - 6 February, 2017 • Trust - 6 February, 2017 • North - 6 February, 2017
Q. Did the customers' money go to their adviser or did AMP have it?
The fees that were mistakenly charged were collected and held by AMP Horizons Financial Group. No adviser received these fees at any time.
Q. A customer has been told they are receiving the fee minus a rebate in their letter. Can we explain?
The reason they were not refunded the entire fee amount is because they also received a partial rebate on the fee that was charged. We have refunded you what was left owing from the fee taken in error less the rebate you previously received .
Q. The customer wants to lodge a formal complaint

For closed investment accounts, you will receive the refund by cheque which you can then take to your bank and deposit into an account of your choice.
For closed superannuation accounts, we must, by law, make the payment into another super account, unless you are of preservation age, in which case you can elect to have the payment made to your bank account. Just select your preferred payment method on the form that will be enclosed with the letter and return it to us in the reply paid envelope
I never agreed to pay the fee
Our records show an advice relationship was initiated where you entered into an ongoing service arrangement, with fees associated. However, if you want us to we can investigate this for you.
Who has had the fees all this time?
The fees that you were mistakenly charged were collected and held by AMP Horizons Financial Group. Your adviser did not have access to these fees at any time.

AMP~ CONFIDENTIAL
Background
On 31 October 2017, AMP announced the establishment of a Customer Advocate function to help and support retail and small business customers of the AMP Group who believe their complaints have not been appropriately resolved through AMP's usual complaint resolution processes.
AMP.6000.0019.8070
The AMP Customer Advocate will ensure customers receive fair and reasonable outcomes and that AMP's customer complaint processes are accessible , robust and transparent. The AMP Customer Advocate will also work closely with senior leaders and teams across the business to learn from these experiences and drive better overall customer experiences and outcomes.
The responsibilities of AMP's Customer Advice Review Panel which previously assisted customers in relation to financial advice complaints have been transitioned to the AMP Customer Advocate, as have those of the AMP Bank Advocate. There were no other changes to accountabilities and responsibilities in relation to customer outcomes across AMP as a result of the establishment of the AMP Customer Advocate function .
The AMP Customer Advocate will work alongside and complement the work of AMP's internal complaints resolution and customer service teams and the work of those teams responsible for our end-to-end relationship with customers including AMP's product management teams and strategic marketing and customer experience team.
AMP Customer Advocate Responsibilities
The AMP Customer Advocate has three core areas of responsibility:
• Advocate Complaint Reviews
• Governance and oversight of AMP's customer complaints framework
• Advocating customer perspectives and fair and reasonable customer outcomes
Advocate Complaint Reviews
The role of the AMP Customer Advocate will be to help customers if they are not satisfied with the way in which AMP has resolved their complaint. In these circumstances, customers can ask the AMP Customer Advocate to undertake a review to ensure that the outcome is fair and reasonable in the circumstances. The role of the AMP Customer Advocate in undertaking Advocate Complaint Reviews is to make an overall assessment from a 'whole of AMP' perspective, independent of the relevant business unit, of whether the customer has received a fair and reasonable outcome in their individual circumstances. The AMP Customer Advocate will work closely with AMP business units in undertaking these reviews.
'Fair and reasonable outcome in the circumstances' is the standard the AMP Customer Advocate will apply in relation Advocate Complaint Reviews. This will enable the AMP Customer Advocate to consider the broader context of the customer complaint, whether all elements of the customer's complaint have been addressed, the customer's experience with AMP and other relevant circumstances such as the applicable legal and regulatory framework. In particular, in addition to considering the merits of the specific outcome determined by the internal customer complaints process, this standard will enable the AMP Customer Advocate to consider the process that has been followed in relation to resolving the complaint and how AMP business units have exercised their discretion in determining the outcome.

AMP.6000.0019.8071
Advice Culture & Compliance Board Committee - Work streams update
AMP~ CONFIDENTIAL
However, equally, this standard will not give the AMP Customer Advocate authority to act outside the applicable legal and regulatory requirements which relate to the customer complaint and the customer's relationship with AMP. In addition, the AMP Customer Advocate will not be able to change certain defined technical decisions without the agreement of the responsible Group Executive due to the complex nature of the AMP business and the potential for broader implications. Where the AMP Customer Advocate and the GL T member cannot agree, the AMP Customer Advocate will escalate the matter directly to the CEO. This technical decision limitation is not intended to limit the AMP Customer Advocate's capacity to consider ex gratia or goodwill arrangements if they would be appropriate in the circumstances.
Generally, the AMP Customer Advocate will only undertake an Advocate Complaint Review if the internal customer complaint handling process for that complaint has been completed and the customer has not referred the matter to an external dispute resolution body or commenced legal proceedings. However, there will be some circumstances defined in the Terms of Reference where an internal customer complaints team can refer a complaint to the AMP Customer Advocate prior to resolution .
AMP's customer complaints framework
The AMP Customer Advocate will also provide assurance in relation to AMP's customer complaints framework through operationally independent oversight, governance and reporting for AMP Group Boards, the CEO and Group Executives. Customer remediation activity forms part of AMP's customer complaints framework and is discussed in more detail below. The focus of this governance and oversight will be to ensure that AMP's customer complaint processes are accessible, robust and transparent and that outcomes produced for customers are fair and reasonable. It will also identify systemic issues which may give rise to future areas of customer complaints or which may not lead to fair and reasonable outcomes for customers.
In this capacity, the AMP Customer Advocate will be responsible for the AMP Complaints and Compensation Policies and ensuring AMP meets certain commitments under the FSC Life Insurance Code of Practice and the AMP Bank's commitments under the ABA Guiding Principles for Customer Advocates.
Advocating Customer Perspectives and Fair and Reasonable Customer Outcomes
The AMP Customer Advocate will also make recommendations and work closely with teams across the business to improve customer complaints handling policies and procedures, ensure complaint outcomes for customers are fair and reasonable, identify and recommend action that should be taken to address systemic issues and past practices which may give rise to customer complaints and ensure that customer experiences, product development and distribution processes produce fair and reasonable outcomes for customers. More broadly, the AMP Customer Advocate will also work closely with senior leaders and teams across the business and contribute to strategies, activities and processes which impact customer outcomes. This will include proactively identifying issues and/or cohorts of customers who are likely to be vulnerable and/or disadvantaged. In this way the AMP Customer Advocate will work alongside and complement the work of those teams responsible for the end-to-end relationship with our customers.
To help this, the AMP Customer Advocate will regularly engage with customers and gain their perspectives. The AMP Customer Advocate will also engage with other external stakeholders to build and maintain awareness of customer perspectives, emerging trends, financial services customer issues and best practice relating to customers and bring the insights and trends from these external engagements back into the business. The AMP Customer Advocate will also contribute to AMP's reputation management and regulatory and policy responses in relation to customer issues.

AMP Customer Advocate function
The AMP Customer Advocate is a direct report of Paul Sainsbury, Group Executive Wealth Solutions & Chief Customer Officer. To manage any perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the AMP Customer Advocate is operationally independent of all teams with responsibility for internal customer complaints handling and servicing customers . Within Wealth Solutions & Customer, the AMP Customer Advocate is operationally separate from functions with business performance KPls and profit & loss responsibility and the AMP Customer Advocate role charter does not contain any financial metrics.
The AMP Customer Advocate's mandate and decision making delegations in relation to Advocate Complaint Reviews will be set out in detail in Terms of Reference approved by the CEO. These delegations will be independent of the Group Executive, Wealth Solutions & Chief Customer Officer with direct escalation pathways to the CEO. Included in these Terms of Reference will be protocols for circumstances where the Group Executive, Wealth Solutions & Chief Customer Officer was involved in decision making in relation to an Advocate Complaint review.
The AMP Customer Advocate function will be a small function of 4 specialist resources initially (including the AMP Customer Advocate). While this team will be sufficient to undertake the activities set out in the Terms of Reference, it is not intended that the function will replicate existing capabilities and expertise which already exists within AMP. Instead the AMP Customer Advocate will work with business units and leverage their resources and expertise to undertake their activities.
Customer Remediation - Role of AMP Customer Advocate
Where a systemic issue has been identified and customer remediation, or a change to customer remediation activities, is required, the AMP Customer Advocate will review the proposed customer remediation activity and assess its design and suitability to deliver fair and reasonable customer outcomes before it is implemented. The AMP Customer Advocate will also consider whether the proposed process is accessible, robust and transparent. Customers who are not satisfied with the outcome provided to them as a result of customer remediation activities will also be able to request an Advocate Complaint Review of their individual outcome and circumstances. The AMP Customer Advocate will apply the same standard of 'fair and reasonable in the circumstances' to an Advocate Complaint Review in these circumstances.
Business units are responsible for the design, implementation and delivery of customer remediation programs. While customer remediation activities will not be implemented or changed until the AMP Customer Advocate has undertaken their review and is satisfied that it will deliver fair and reasonable customer outcomes, the AMP Customer Advocate will not play an active role in the design, implementation or delivery of customer remediation activities.
In undertaking an assessment of the design and suitability of customer remediation activity, the AMP Customer Advocate must act within its mandate set out in its Terms of Reference. The Terms of Reference will identify the threshold for when customer remediation activity must be assessed by the AMP Customer Advocate before being implemented, as not all customer remediation activity across the AMP group will require involvement by the AMP Customer Advocate. The Terms of Reference will also provide guidance on the matters that the AMP Customer Advocate will consider in undertaking the assessment including consideration of the circumstances of impacted customers, the proposed customer remediation process and customer experience, how outcomes for customers will be determined and what outcomes are expected to be produced for customers . Consideration will also be given to relevant legal and regulatory requirements and as well as regulatory guidance (where appropriate) .

Next Steps
The AMP Customer Advocate's current focus is helping customers who contact the AMP Customer Advocate for help following the announcement of the appointment on 31 October 2017 and establishing this new function within AMP. This includes finalisation and approval of the Terms of Reference by the CEO, engaging within AMP and externally about the role of AMP Customer Advocate and beginning to build out the Office of the Customer Advocate.
Work has begun on reviewing AMP's Customer Complaints and Compensation Policies which provides the framework for all customer complaints handling within AMP, including customer remediation activities and engagement discussions have commenced with Advice and other areas of the business about what is required in order to operationalise the AMP Customer Advocate's role in assessing the design and suitability of customer remediation activity to deliver fair and reasonable customer outcomes before it is implemented.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Advice Culture and Compliance Board Committee ('Committee')
FROM: Pally Bargri, Chief Risk Officer - Advice
SUBJECT: Advice Licence Management
DATE: 12 December 2017
Action required by the Committee For discussion and noting
Recommendation That the Committee notes this report and endorses the recommendations.
Discussion and topic questions • Approach to Responsible Manager (RM) selection and appointment; and • Risks identified in licence management particularly around key person risks
relating to RMs for Advice Licensees and directors of Advice entities.
People consulted in preparing the paper Lionel Mateo
Background and positioning In response to the matter arising from the Committee on 3 November 2017, this paper seeks to outline potential solutions that are available to address the key person risks relating to directors and RMs for Advice Licensees.
ASIC requires holders of Australian Financial Services Licences (AFSLs) and Australian Credit Licences (ACLs) to comply with several regulatory requirements. These include requirements around organisational competence (i.e. responsible managers), risk management, compliance and monitoring, adequacy of resources, conduct and disclosures, and dispute resolution.
Currently, Advice operates 19 AFSLs and 10 ACLs 1, including licences under Equity Partner arrangements. Appendix 1 sets out current RMs and directors of each licensee and associated entities.
Advice licensee boards are currently governed through concurrent forums in which all licensee boards are represented.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline the risks with respect to RM coverage and the available options to address them.
I AFSL & ACL - AMP Financial Planning (AMPFP), Charter Financial Planning Limited (Charter) , Genesys Wealth Advisers Limited (Genesys) , Hillross Financial Planning (Hillross), ipac Securities Limited (ipac), Jigsaw Support Services Limited (Jigsaw), SMSF Advice Pty Ltd (SMSF Advice) , and Quadrant Securities Pty Limited (Quadrant) and Portfolio Planning Solutions Limited (PPS) AFSL only - Tynan Mackenzie Pty Ltd (Tynan) and AMP Direct Pty Ltd (AMP Direct) , Strategic Planning Partners Pty Ltd (SPP), TFS Financial Planning Partners Pty Ltd. (TFS), King Financial Services Pty Ltd (King), Forsythes Financial Services Pty Ltd (Forsythes), Total Super Solutions Pty Ltd (TSS), Prosperitus Pty Ltd (Prosperitus), PPS Lifestyle Solutions Pty Ltd (PPS Lifestyle) , Australian Financial Risk Management Pty Ltd (AFRM) ACL only - Wealth Vision Home Loans Pty Ltd.

Key issues and considerations The current licence management arrangements present the following risks in relation to licensee governance compliance (see Appendix 2 for detailed consideration) :
1. Experience and Qualifications - Not all members of the licensee management teams meet minimum experience and/or qualification requirements prescribed by ASIC. While qualifications can be obtained through the completion of relevant courses, experience requires time in a relevant role e.g. in the case of AFSLs, a minimum of 3 years in providing or supervising someone provide personal advice.
In addition, the credit licence requirements for a RM are very prescriptive i.e. minimum 2 years credit experience and a relevant qualification.
2. Day to day oversight - Under Regulatory Guide 105: Licensing organisational competence, ASIC requires nominated responsible managers to be directly responsible for significant dayto-day decisions about the ongoing provision of financial services. Ideally, all Managing Directors (MDs) and their direct reports should be appointed as RMs under the Licensee they represent. However, not all relevant staff meet the requirements prescribed by ASIC and finding suitable candidates remains challenging.
3. Number of RMs - ASIC does not prescribe an optimum number of responsible managers for a Licensee, other than the number will depend on the nature, scale and complexity of the business. Advice currently has one RM representing 7 credit licences and one RM covering 10 AFS licences. Additionally, we have two RMs covering specialist product authorisation such as MDA services and standard margin lending across multiple licences. This scenario creates a key person risk for the licensees.
4. Directorships - The majority of Advice entities have two or three Board members. However, five directors span five boards and one director spans fifteen boards. There are nine entities with only one director which places heavy reliance on the sole director and results in a key person risk to the Licensees.
Recommendations It is recommended that the Committee: 1. notes this paper, and the gaps and risks inherent in the licensees with respect to RM coverage; 2. requires management to actively work to resolve the known gaps and reduce the residual risk
exposure; and 3. seeks an update from management on the effectiveness of the implementation of actions in 6
months.
Further Consideration The Advice business currently oversees 29 licences and a further 16 entities that do not hold licences (i.e. holding companies) . Some of these licensees/entities are dormant and no longer provide any service.
It is recommended that the Advice business review these entities to determine if any licences can be cancelled and entities deregistered. This would reduce regulatory compliance burden in maintaining these entities.
