COFI? Still percolating…

Katherine Gibson, recently-appointed Deputy Commissioner at the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), told the 2021 Financial Planning Institute (FPI) Professional Convention that the Authority was optimistic that the Bill would be submitted to Parliament before the end of 2021. And industry stakeholder will no doubt be holding thumbs that the regulator’s expectation proves accurate.
