A joint initiative of The Adviser and RFi, the Australian Lending Awards recognises innovation, leadership and success across retail, wholesale and third-party segments of the mortgage industry.
Among the judges announced for the Australian Lending Awards 2013 are industry stalwart Paul Lahiff, chairman at Stephenson Mansell Group and leading financial academic Dr Fariborz Moshirian, who both return to the panel for the third year in a row.
With professionalism and transparency at the heart of the Australian Lending Awards, the selection of the judging panel is a significant component of the rigorous assessment process, according to RFi director Alan Shields.
“The 2013 judges are all leaders in their particular fields, bringing the highest level of expertise to the assessment process,” he said.
“A strong judging panel forms the backbone of the Australian Lending Awards methodology and we are once again thankful to our judges for their contribution to this event.”
The Australian Lending Awards 2013 judging panel will assess lender submissions over the coming weeks to determine finalists across the varied categories.
Finalists will be announced on Wednesday 28 November.
Across several categories, the judges will also participate in panel interviews with finalists during the month of December to ensure a complete and thorough assessment of the most complex award categories.
Overall winners of the Australian Lending Awards will be determined by the judging panel’s assessments as well as the results of extensive consumer and broker surveys.
Now in its third year, the Australian Lending Awards, forms part of the Australian Lending Summit, which will take place on Friday 15 February, 2013.
