ASIC bans former adviser
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has banned a former Queensland adviser from providing financial services for one year.
It was found that Bradley Thrupp failed to give clients a Statement of Advice on 39 occasions while he was an authorised representative of Westpac Banking Corporation.
His actions breached section 946A of the Corporations Act and were reported to ASIC by Westpac.
Thrupp has the right to lodge an application with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a review of ASIC’s decision.
