ASISA: Eighteen advisers S Referenced during September

During September this year 18 financial advisers were S Referenced by the former Life Offices’ Association (LOA), the majority for submitting unauthorised policies (policies written without a client’s consent). There were also three cases of fraudulent misrepresentation.

The S Reference system is one of self-regulation and aims to protect consumers from advisers who are considered unfit to be marketing the products of the long-term insurance industry.

Participants in the S Reference system will not employ, accept new business from, or pay commission to an S Referenced financial adviser. An S Referenced person may also not be employed in a position that allows them control over advisers or their training.

An S Reference is imposed upon an adviser for five years. This may be reduced to three years if there are special mitigating factors. After the expiry of the period, the S Reference will lapse.
