Client relationship manager banned from providing financial services
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has banned Paul Anthony Davis of Taringa, Queensland, from providing financial services as a result of convictions for fraud related charges.
Davis was convicted in Brisbane Magistrates Court on eight charges relating to fraud that was committed as a client relationship manager and administrator at financial services group Tynan Mackenzie. The charges totalled $14,311.80.
Davis can apply for a review of ASIC's decision to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
