  • Responsible Managers of Australian Financial Services Licensees (AFSL)

This course provides an overview of the obligations required of:

  • AFSL Responsible Managers;
  • Compliance Managers who need to understand the role of Responsible Managers; and
  • People nominated as Responsible Managers (but who are required by ASIC to undertake training like this before ASIC will allow them to be Responsible Managers).

The course covers:
  • an overview of a Responsible Manager's obligations;
  • a concise summary of the fundamental features of the financial services reform regime;
  • consideration of RM-relevant licensee obligations;
  • your organisation's AFS licence authorisations (if applicable);
  • whether personal liability attaches to your role as an RM; and
  • breach identification, assessment and reporting.

The course is available either as:
  • a tailored course for a licensee's Responsible Managers; 
  • a public seminar (see below); and
  • an online seminar (see below).

Learning Outcomes

After participating in this course you will be able to:
  • meet "ongoing training" requirements as set out in ASIC RG105;
  • explain their obligations as Responsible Managers (formerly Responsible Officers);
  • explain key regulatory obligations in relation to the provision of financial services;
  • explain the business' authorisations under its AFS Licence;
  • consider and explain potential personal liability arising from acting as a nominated Responsible Manager (formerly Responsible Offices); and
  • identify and explain developments and trends that have, and are, taking place in the financial services industry which might impact on Responsible Managers (formerly Responsible Officers).

So, come join our training either in the traditional face-to-face setting or participate in an online seminar that's interactive and practical.  You will learn through a mix of theory and practice.  Training includes presentation, interaction, polls, the provision of a manual and simulated tasks.
