Financial Advice NZ also recently released the first of six exclusive workbooks to help its members with their licensing obligations.
Every workbook takes a duty from the Financial Markets Conduct Act and the first workbook is titled ‘Priority to clients’ interest.’
A new workbook will be released each month and updated as the new Act, Code and Regulations come into play.
