New Code Committee members finally revealed

Sunday 26th of June 2022

At the urging of Good Returns and one of our very persistent readers, thefinancial advice Code Committee has finally updated its website to reveal the names of its two new committee members.

According to Commerce and Affairs Minister David Clark, the appointments were made in mid-April, after the committee had been operating unlawfully for almost a year with less than the
