Koromilas quits ASIC

Deborah Koromilas has resigned from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
Koromilas has been ASIC’s senior executive leader for financial advisers since mid-2008.
A spokesperson confirmed that Koromilas tendered her resignation yesterday, but was not able to provide further information regarding a potential replacement.
While at ASIC Koromilas was involved in consultation on the redesign of statements of advice, and worked closely with the industry — including regular contact with the Investment and Financial Services Association and the Financial Planning Association.
Koromilas was also known in the industry through her time as head of regulatory and legal affairs at BT Financial Group, as well as time with AMP.
