The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry has raised serious issues about behaviour that has further eroded the trust of Australian consumers. FINSIA shares the concerns of the community and the vast majority of people within financial services with the behaviours and practices revealed through the Royal Commission, which are unacceptable.
FINSIA's response to the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.
It is the industry’s professional duty to deliver fair, transparent and prudent services that customers can trust. FINSIA's approach is to focus on the individuals in the financial services sector to improve their skills and expertise, standards and ethics and community responsibilty. This model of self-regulation can restore community trust in banks.
