Description: "'Financial services' is the fastest growing sector of the economy and has profound implications for individuals, corporations and government. Following extensive review in the last part of the twentieth century, Australia has now put in place an overarching system for regulating all financial services, replacing a system based on separate regulation of products in individual industries. Financial Services Law and Compliance in Australia provides a comprehensive account of the new regulatory structure and a detailed analysis of the new legislative framework, including discussion of the new regulatory bodies, the new licensing requirements for those wishing to enter the financial services market and the new obligations for those marketing or offering financial services to the public. This book is an essential resource for those working in, and advising on, financial services, students and those needing to understand the new regime as a whole."--Provided by publisher.
