AFS authorisations that ended in 2003

1,363 authorisations ended during 2003, covering 1,339 representatives across 158 licensees. An authorisation that ended in 2003 answers for advice given up to that date, and not after.

Why a year is a useful way in

AFCA decides a complaint against the licensee that authorised the adviser at the time of the advice. If you know roughly when you were advised, the year the authorisation ended tells you whether a given licensee was still answerable then.

782 of these 1,363 authorisations were granted by a licence number that no longer appears in ASIC's current licensee file. Where a licensee has gone, an AFCA determination can go unpaid — the case the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort was created for. What to do about it.
