Regulator laments poor quality of advice

Date December 10, 2014 John Collett
Greg Medcraft, the boss of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission,
was candid when he spoke at the National Press Club last week.

About a third of his speech was about financial advice and the need for

there and then?

Need I go on Greg?

How about a sincere apology to those victims you now identify as still vulnerable.
In the end, do remember that ASIC is an ENFORCER and not just a registrant of business names.

And while Parliamentary Inquiry into your performance concentrated mainly on Financial Advisers,

(Senate Economics References Committee 26 June 2014 MEDIA RELEASE)
stuck, and stuck deep.

Anything to say?
