Planning for the Future of Financial Advice in Australia: A Handbook

Planning for the Future of Financial Advice: A Handbook provides an introductory look at the legal and procedural matters underlying Part 7.7A of the Corporations Act, known as the Future of Financial Advice (FoFA). The work discusses some of the more difficult provisions that the financial services industry and their legal advisers are embarking upon.
