AFA Monitoring Report
Our April to June 2013 AFA Monitoring Report has now been released. In this edition we talk about the thematic review we conducted on NZX Adviser AFAs.
The purpose of our review was to find out just what services and products were being offered by NZX Adviser AFAs, review advice and high risk processes based on an initial risk assessment and environmental scan, and perform specific targeted monitoring based on the initial risk assessment.
There were two distinct phases:
Phase One – an information gathering and review process; and
Phase Two – a more targeted review of advice practices at an individual level, and a review of specific risks at an entity level.
