Achieving Higher Compliance: Three Common Shortcomings @ Online
May 8 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

At the 2024 Financial Advice NZ conference the FMA shared insights from its monitoring visits. The purpose was to help advisers understand some of the advice practice areas that could be improved to help achieve higher compliance with the Code of Conduct.

The webinar will focus on three areas of the findings where shortcomings have been observed:

  • Solution suitability
  • Process and documentation for changes to initial advice
  • Replacement Insurance

The session will give you understanding of what good practice would look like and give you the opportunity to consider your own processes and identify areas to determine if there are gaps in your documentation and workflows.

Free for Financial Advice NZ members, $50+gst for non-members. 1CBD hour.
