# AFS authorisations by the year they ended — afs-rep

> 310,248 AFS authorisations have ended since 2003. The year matters because a licensee answers only for the dates it authorised someone.

## Authorisations by the year they ended

310,248 of the 362,694 authorisations on this register have ended. Unlike ASIC's credit representative register, this one publishes them — which is what makes a dated question answerable.

### Why this axis exists

A complaint to AFCA is decided against the licensee that authorised the
adviser **at the time of the advice**. So the useful cut through
310,248 ended authorisations is not alphabetical, it is chronological: if
you know roughly when you were advised, you can see which licensees were still
answerable then, and which had already let the person go.

⚠️ We publish no rate of departures per year as a trend. The
counts below are what the file contains today; ASIC republishes the whole
register rather than a history, so a year's figure can change as records are
corrected.
