The reports were released in 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The remediation programs began as a result of two major ASIC reviews in 2015 that examined how effectively institutions supervised their financial advisers and the extent of failure by the institutions to deliver ongoing advice services to customers who were paying fees for no service.
