Partners in investment and growth Accountancy – The New Advice Standard September 2014 Christopher Hirst Futuro Conference

Partners in investment and growth Agenda Background Regulatory enforcement Licensing choices Risks Costs Futuro Options Revenue expectations Benefits of changing now Conclusion

Partners in investment and growth Background prior to 1 July 2016 Accountants are currently providing their clients with the following: –providing advice on setting up and closing a SMSF. –recommending what type of super contribution could be made, how much and when. –Recommending taking out income protection policies to reduce taxable income

Partners in investment and growth To Licence or not to licence If Accountants want to obtain a limited licence and begin offering advice by July 2016, they need to be taking active steps during Partners need to look beyond the financial costs and consider the non-financial ongoing costs and risk to the business.

Partners in investment and growth Regulatory Enforcement ASIC has announced that un-licenced financial advice in the SMSF sector will be a focus and they will be taking regulatory action against unlicensed operators. We [ASIC] do not want to see SMSFs become the vehicle of choice for unscrupulous operators (ASIC Report 337)

Partners in investment and growth Licensing choices Accountants choices involve the following: –Obtain and maintain a limited AFSL –Obtain and maintain a full AFSL –Become an Authorised Rep of another AFSL –Recruit an additional partner who is licensed and/or authorised to service the SMSF client base –Focus of referral relationships and partner with an AFSL or AR –Do nothing and step back from providing SMSF advice

Partners in investment and growth Risks of Self Licensing If a business chooses to become self-licensed, it will typically be the partners who becomes the Licensee’s Responsible Manager. This may mean that the highest fee earning staff member in the business will also have the responsibility of keeping up to date with the compliance requirements of holding the licence, managing relationships with ASIC, service providers such a research houses, dispute resolution bodies, legal advisers and education and training providers

Partners in investment and growth Risks of Self Licensing For most accounting partners, this time away from client work can conservatively add up to 100 hours per annum, which at a charge out rate of $400/hr could amount to up to $40,000 lost revenue.

Partners in investment and growth Risks of Self Licensing Need to ensure all advice complies with all financial services laws Need to keep up to date with regulatory change Must maintain the competence of those staff employed to provide advice and ensure they meet ASIC training requirements Must manage complaints and disputes Report significant breaches Manage conflicts of interest

Partners in investment and growth Risks of Self Licensing Many accountants are considering outsourcing this function but are unaware of the financial and non financial costs and risks. Irrespective of having these functions outsourced, partners remain responsible and are accountable for the actions of these third parties.

Partners in investment and growth Risk of being Authorised Must enter into a legally binding agreement with the Licensee to comply with the Licensee’s compliance and other requirements. For both self licenced and authorised, the adviser must meet the client’s best interests according to law.
