Financial Advice Code Working Group

In June 2017, the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs appointed a Financial Advice Code Working Group to develop the new code of conduct for financial advice.

The new code sets standards of competence, conduct and client-care for the whole financial advice industry and came into force on 15 March 2021.
