Respective roles of the Code Committee and the Code Working Group 

The Financial Advice Code Working Group has been appointed by the Minister to develop a new code of conduct for financial advice that will underpin the new regime proposed for the regulation of financial advice.  That Group will replace the current Code Committee once the Financial Services Legislation Amendment Bill is passed into law.  Until then, the current Code Committee retains its role under section 82 of the Financial Advisers Act 2008 in relation to the existing code, and remains happy to receive feedback in relation to the operation of that code.  Any feedback or queries in relation to the development of the new code of conduct should be directed to the Financial Advice Code Working Group.
