Anti-requisite(s): 78228 Financial Services Law and Compliance in Australia
Description
Financial services is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Australian economy. Following an extensive review, Australia has put in place an overarching system for regulating all financial services, replacing a system that was based on separate regulation of products in individual industries. This is an essential subject to understand this new regime, focusing on the implications of the new system for retail clients as financial citizens, and addressing the regulatory structure and legislative framework, including the new regulatory bodies. Licensing requirements for entering the financial services market and the new obligations for marketing or offering financial services to the public are also examined.
On completion of this subject, students should have developed an understanding of the law governing the regulation of financial services transactions; the effect of financial services law and other related legislation on particular financial services issues; and particular aspects of financial services law in depth.
