Further to our last AFA Update, we have opened a second consultation on the proposed RRG for Authorised Financial Advisers. As a result of the constructive feedback received from the first consultation, we undertook a comprehensive and detailed review of the proposed RRG and Information Return, (which is intended to be the first reporting requirement contained in the RRG).
The second consultation paper summarises our responses to some of the key themes and issues raised by submitters on the first consultation and includes the revised Information Return.
Your feedback to date has helped us refine the proposals and we welcome any further input from advisers and industry groups. Submissions are due to FMA by Wednesday 9 April so please take part.
