------------------—----------------------------- -------------------------- ------- * ”

Superannuation fund application forms typically contain a section in which the applicant can make a binding death benefit nomination.

The binding death benefit nomination options offered by the trustees of funds include:

« ’lapsing’ binding nominations - automatically lapse’ after 3 years by virtue of SIS Regulation 6.17A(7); and/or « 'non lapsing’ binding nominations - which have become common in recent years.

SIS Regulation 6.17A (6) requires that ‘lapsing’ binding nominations must be signed in the presence of two witnesses. There is no statutory witnessing requirement for ‘non lapsing’ binding nominations; however, the relevant forms typically require a separate signature by the applicant in the presence of two witnesses, who must each sign under a declaration, including a declaration that thewitness was present when the applicant signed.

In November 2016, National Australia Bank Limited’s (NABL’s) financial planning business, NAB Financial Planning (NAB FP), detected via a regular internal file review possible irregularities with the witnessing of a customer’s signature on a Non-lapsing Binding Death Nomination form (‘Form’). An investigation confirmed that a member of the adviser's support staff witnessed the customer’s signature, despite not being present at the customer appointment. The adviser’s employment with NAB FP was terminated for issues emanating from the identification of his incorrect witnessing of Forms and other matters. The circumstances surrounding his departure were outlined in our notification to ASIC of departed financial advisers on 5 June 2017.

In response NAB FP:

• developed a case study (using details of the event) and shared with managers across NAB FP to create awareness of this issue and remind staff of proper process.

• prompted managers to scrutinise the Forms as part of their regular internal file reviews.

In February 2017, NAB FP identified three further instances of only one witness (typically the adviser) being present when the customer signed the Form. This witness later gave the Form to the second witness to sign (typically a member of the support staff),and that second person signed the declaration despite not being present when the customer signed.

. » *|

By the end of March 2017, NAB FP had concerns that a total of 11 advisers, and a small number of support staff, had been involved in improper witnessing of Forms. Attention was directed to determining the number of customers potentially affected in order to undertake remediation (proper completion of new Forms), Given that it is not readily apparent that a Form has been improperly witnessed simply by reviewing it and due to the number of advisers identified at the time, it became apparent that determining the scale of customers impacted and the duration over which incorrect witnessing of Forms had occurred would require the assistance ofthe staff involved.

On 28 March 2017, as part of a business update, NAB FP communicated via teleconference the concerns regarding the improper witnessing of Forms to NAB FP staff and on 7 April 2017 the NAB FP network were emailed a summary of the teleconference update. During April 2017 a further 8 instances of improper witnessing of customer’s signatures were identified via self-reporting.

On 11 May 2017, NAB FP held a teleconference asking all staff to self-report by 31 May 2017 any known instances of invalid witnessing of Forms.

ASIC was informed of this matter on 18 May 2017 via telephone and in writing on the 19 May 2017 outlining that NAB FP had become aware of instances in the network where only one witness was present at the time of signing the Form. There were further discussions held between ASIC and NAB FP on 1 June 2017, during this meeting NAB FP stated it would be in a position to provide a further update in the coming weeks. As part of this event, NAB FP is also investigating if there are any other instances where formshave been incorrectly witnessed, signed or certified by customers or staff.

As at 13 June 2017, there was 325 staff members identified as having been involved in the incorrect witnessing of customer's signatures on the Forms. These staff members are employed across multiple roles within the NAB FP business including advisers and support staff. NAB FP is currently working through identifying the number of customers impacted and determining timelines forremediation activities required.
