Please answer the following questions. (a) The article mentioned the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Discuss the role of ASIC and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in formulating and enforcing accounting regulations within Australia. What is the relationship between the two regulatory bodies? (b) Describe the main concern identified in the article, making reference to the mentioned "Stockholm Syndrome". (c) Based on the reading of this article, do you think that the ASIC can fulfil its role in regard to accounting regulations in Australia? Why? (5 + 4 + 4 = 13 marks) ASIC finally wakes up to everyone else's nightmare John Addis The AGE, June 16, 2014 The Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological process whereby a hostage identifies with their kidnapper, to the point of defending the kidnapper's reasons for their own capture. For the past eight years ASIC appears to have been suffering from a similar condition, with only the public revelation of wrongdoing, rather than wrongdoing itself, provoking action. The Senate hearing into ASIC's performance shows the regulator emerging from its captive state to see the true state of financial planning at Commonwealth Bank. The daily revelations of big bank malpractice and regulatory inaction is a real-life horror show. In her work covering ASIC's investigation into Financial Wisdom and Commonwealth Financial Planning, both owned by CBA, Fairfax's Adele Ferguson reported on a 'mystery shopper' exercise conducted by ASIC in 2007. Covering 51 randomly selected planners, the advice of 38 of them was rated as 'critical'. According to an ASIC letter sent to Tim Gunning, the CBA's former general manager of wealth management, in February 2008, the reason for a 'critical' rating included 'fraud and dishonest conduct', 'deliberate or reckless failure to disclose fees, costs, charges, relationship and warnings' and 'no evidence of appropriate advice'. Surely the bank would be keen to rid themselves of these 38 planners, especially as two similar surveys at CBA's Financial Wisdom's branch in Cairns and Commonwealth Financial Planning's Bankstown office in 2006 revealed similar concerns? Err, no. It got rid of just 12. ACF5953 Mock Exam Page 5 of 13 OFFICE USE ONLY ACF5953 FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING Question One (cont'd) The annexures in ASIC's letter to Gunning, detailing cases where 'the product recommended was more expensive than the client's existing product' and 'the recommended product would cost the client $6,280 more than if he had remained in the existing product', give a hint as to why. ASIC put two and two together, stating that there might be a 'correlation' between the amount of business that representatives wrote and CBA keeping them on. But ASIC did not pursue the 26 'critical' planners CBA retained and on Saturday - a full eight years after it became aware of the problems - Ferguson revealed that nine still work for the bank. Eight months after the Gunning letter, whistleblower Jeff Morris warned ASIC about dodgy planner Don Nguyen and the bank cover-up of his activities. After substantial prodding, the corporate cop stumbled to its feet and dusted down its excuses. But for the Senate inquiry, Morris and a handful of Fairfax reporters led by Ferguson, in one of the more obvious examples of regulatory capture, ASIC may well have been happy to let the matter slip. After all, even former ASIC insiders claim the regulator favours big business'.
