				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d like to start my first blog post by saying how utterly appalled I was when I watched the Four Corners report on Commonwealth Bank&#8217;s Financial Planning arm and a particular financial planning brand and business owned by Commonwealth Bank. Within the industry there is a code of ethics to which we should abide. One strong code is our basis for advice. That is, when a client comes to me and if I provide advice to that client, I must have a satisfactory reason to provide that particular advice….and I don&#8217;t mean to improve my bottom line!</p>
<p>What I saw was a reckless abandonment of ethics, conscience and morals. Mark my word though, I have inherited clients on many occasions where the advice process from some financial institutions has been shocking and what&#8217;s more, very, very expensive. What I see a lot is not so much the initial advice being unconscionable but the complete lack of ongoing service when advisers are receiving commissions. <em>You wouldn&#8217;t pay a tradesman or woman if they didn&#8217;t turn up would you?</em> In some instances, once some advisers are on the gravy train, they don&#8217;t bother with any service unless the wheel gets squeaky. Keep squeaking!</p>
