ASIC found Willmott had:

  • engaged in dishonest, misleading and deceptive conduct by forging client signatures, using false documents and back-dating documents;
  • deleted records to conceal misconduct;
  • falsely declared to have witnessed signatures on Death Benefit Nomination Forms and arranged for others to backdate and falsely witness these forms; and
  • failed to provide Statements of Advice to clients.
