The government said it will develop legislative amendments to ensure that financial advisers and mortgage brokers adequately disclose their relationships with associated entities.
NAB welcomed the government’s response to the FSI.
“We fully support the government's plan to ensure mortgage brokers sufficiently disclose their relationships with associated entities and we look forward to working with ASIC in their examination of remuneration structures in the mortgage broking sector,” said Anthony Waldron, NAB executive general manager of broker partnerships.
“We look forward to working with both the government and ASIC on these two policy areas,” he added.

The FSI final report called for greater disclosure.
