Session Agenda
The failure of Shield and First Guardian revealed problems across the ecosystem from the lead generators through to the platforms. How have these failures impacted our industry and the relevant players.  Does this change the way advice businesses think about their APL? Will products and platforms take on accountability to identify investment and advice quality issues before they become systemic problems? Will licensees be able to sustain the impact of increased cost of the industry levy due to these failures?
