We will be in touch with all those who have registered. All tickets are fully transferable to the new event dates.

Disclosure Guide for Financial AdvisersAs part of the Get in Shape series, designed to support the advice community through the changes as part of the Financial Services Legislation Amendment Act (FSLAA), the Financial Services Council has developed a new Disclosure Guide For Financial Advisers. The Disclosure Guide takes readers through the key process of preparing clear information for consumers, from the general requirements of the legislation to complaint handling. |
The Get In Shape Advice Summits were held across New Zealand in 2020 and 2021, and featured a welcome from the Minister for Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and representatives from MBIE, the FMA and industry. Click on the relevant year to see videos and other resources from the sessions.
The FSC is running a series of Get In Shape webinars to keep the advice community updated and help transition to the new FSLAA regime. The 45 minute webinars run at 10am every other Friday and you can register for the next session here. Find out more below, sign up to receive updates or watch previous sessions via YouTube.
