The report outlines the results of (my) Empirical PhD research, one of the first studies of its kind in the world. I think the research provides unique insight into:

  • The most common ethical errors associated with the provision of financial advice;
  • The factors that influence financial advisers and compliance managers to make ethical or unethical choices;
  • The current ethical issues faced by financial advisory participants in their daily advisory practices and within the organisations for which they work; and
  • Current trends and patterns in ethical conduct and decision making within the financial advisory sector.

To assist you reading the report, it contains an executive summary and uses a series of text boxes to identify:

  • Signposts to Reform,
  • Current Roadblocks to Quality Financial Advisory Outcomes and suggestions on
  • How to Build Organisational Resilience to Ethical Risk Within Financial Advisory firms.

The report is designed to assist:
