Jones announces DBFO tranche 2: SOA changes in, BID and NCAs on ice for now


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -soa-changes-in-bid-and-ncas-on-ice-for-now.html
Published in Politics and Government on Friday, March 21st 2025 at 2:40 GMT by ifa   Print publication without navigation

  • The outgoing Financial Services Minister has released the latest set of financial advice reforms, with some key measures not making the pre-election cut.

The article from ifa.com.au discusses recent announcements by Jones, the head of the Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA), regarding changes to the Statement of Advice (SOA) requirements under the Design and Distribution Obligations (DDO) and the Best Interests Duty Obligations (BIDO). Jones has confirmed that Tranche 2 of the DDO will introduce modifications to the SOA, aiming to streamline and clarify the documentation process for financial advisers. However, he has put on hold any immediate changes to the Best Interests Duty (BID) and the No Conflicts of Advice (NCAs) rules, indicating that these areas will not see alterations in the near future. This decision comes amidst ongoing discussions and reviews about how best to balance consumer protection with the operational efficiency of financial advice practices. The changes are part of a broader effort to reduce the regulatory burden on advisers while ensuring client interests are safeguarded.
