澳洲金融业曝重大丑闻！AMP总裁即刻下台 | 澳洲都市报

在银行业皇家委员会揭露了澳大利亚财富管理巨头AMP集团涉及130亿澳元的令人震惊的不当行为丑闻之后，AMP首席执行官Craig Meller立即下台并被没收奖金。

新一轮听证会披露，该公司向没有收到任何服务的客户收取费用的方式存在系统性的不当行为。丑闻还包括篡改独立报告，并且误导金融监管机构。

AMP为听证会披露的有关该公司理财建���的丑闻“毫无保留地”道歉。这家金融服务提供商今早宣布，总裁Meller已经“同意”立即退休。

在由Kenneth Hayne领导的针对银行业的皇家委员会第二轮听证会之前，Meller先生就曾宣布将于2018年底退休。Meller先生将放弃与最新财政年度有关的任何股权红利。

Meller先生表示，对于皇家委员会所发现的问题以及对客户的影响，他“本人感到震惊”，他的离职对于开展重建对AMP的信任的工作是“正确的措施”。

对该公司的合规性进行审查期间，AMP集团法律顾问，该公司最大的法律负责人Brian Salter也将休假。

AMP董事会的非执行董事Mike Wilkins将接替Meller先生的职位，直至找到永久替代人员。Wilkins先生自2016年9月起出任AMP董事，他也是澳大利亚保险集团的前首席执行官。

AMP还将对公司的监管报告和治理流程进行“即时，全面的评估”。该公司表示，这项工作将由退休法官或同等独立专家监督，并将“立即任命”。

AMP董事会委员会还将审查皇家委员会提出的问题，该委员会将由临时总裁Wilkins先生领导，并由Kingwood & Mallesons律师事务所协助。

在AMP承认对从未收到理财建议的客户收费并且屡次向企业监管机构说谎之后，这间财富管理巨头的股价一路下跌。

皇家委员会昨日获悉，该公司篡改了律师事务所Clayton Utz对丑闻所做的一份独立报告，并且曾误导澳大利亚证券和投资委员会。之后该公司股价跌至四年来的新低点。

“AMP为我们的咨询业务中的不当行为和没有进行监管披露毫无保留地道歉，”AMP董事会主席Catherine Brenner说。“董事会决定，我们将应对这些挑战，加速AMP在文化和绩效方面做出改变。”

联邦财长Scott Morrison周三警告称，ASIC正在调查该公司，高管可能会因为行为违规面临监禁。

Meller先生昨天承认，理财顾问和他们的许多客户会被这些披露感到“震惊”，但持续的ASIC调查妨碍了AMP能更早地分享更多信息。

他表示，未提供服务却收费的问题非常复杂，涉及对理财顾问提供持续服务的收费不当，以及当顾客在转换顾问时将费用保留90天的商业惯例。

AMP向皇家委员会报告说，2009年至2016年期间有15,712名客户受到这种做法的影响。赔偿计划包括向客户支付470万澳元，其中85万与所谓的90天离开费的规定有关。

Meller先生说，不提供服务却收费是不应当的，AMP在2016年就停止了这种做法。

而在一个关键性的承认中，他表示该公司向ASIC报告此事的方式是“误导性的”。

Bell Potter分析师Lafitani Sotiriou表示，皇家委员会可能会迫使该集团进行一次彻底的董事会人员更新。过去两年来，Sotiriou先生一直敦促AMP投资者将该公司股票卖掉，因为该公司面临更高的合规和监管成本。他说，目前该公司面临集体诉讼的风险越来越大，因为投资者可能会争辩说他们没有得到适当的通知。其他的疑虑包括，如果管理层对相关事务进行审计，可能导致对该集团的盈利预期作出重大修改。

AMP还可能面临进一步的客户补偿和更高的持续合规成本。

自从担任AMP董事会主席以来， Brenner女士的领导风格也引发争议。她在担任该职位的头几个月里曾说，管理层必须“更快”地为股东提供回报，然后披露一位大股东呼吁解雇Meller先生。

坊间一直讨论该公司董事会的分歧导致了前董事会主席Simon McKeon在2016年初的突然离职。关于McKeon先生退出的原因尚未有公开披露，但有多份报道表明，该公司董事会成员之间在业务收益率方面存在摩擦。

Banking royal commission: Who’s next? The banking and finance executives who have already walked away

Some high-profile finance figures have already stepped away from their roles even before the release of the Hayne commission’s final report.

Banking royal commission: Bankers sweating on final Hayne report

AMP

It is hard to overstate the impact of the revelations about AMP. They shocked the nation, forcing the exit of Ms Brenner, CEO Craig Meller and general counsel Brian Salter.

It was revealed in April this trio had requested extensive changes to a report the company commissioned law firm Clayton Utz and presented it to the regulator under the guise of being an independent report.

Australia banking scandal claims more AMP scalps, chairwoman quits

SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia’s largest-listed wealth manager AMP announced the resignations of its chairwoman and legal counsel on Monday, and slashed its directors’ fees by a quarter as it races to stem the fallout from damaging revelations of misconduct at the firm.

The exits follow disclosures at a judicial inquiry into the country’s financial sector that AMP misled many customers and deceived the corporate regulator. The scandal has already caused the early departure of CEO Craig Meller, who was due to leave by year end, and analysts expect more heads will roll.

Chairwoman Catherine Brenner and group General Counsel Brian Salter will depart immediately, AMP said in a statement.

Mike Wilkins, a former independent director who has been named both interim chairman and CEO, said the evidence given to the government-backed Royal Commission is “being treated extremely seriously by the board”.

“Appropriate steps are being taken to address the issues raised, and remediating our customers is being given utmost priority,” he said.

AMP, which is also staring at a possible class action, has seen around A$2.2 billion ($1.7 billion) wiped off its market capitalization over the past two weeks in the wake of the revelations. It was valued at A$11.6 billion at Friday’s close.

The inquiry was told that advisers at AMP misappropriated funds of thousands of clients over the last decade by charging them without providing advice, and that it had repeatedly lied to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Counsel assisting the inquiry said on Friday that AMP had breached provisions of the Corporations Act that carry criminal sanctions.

Brenner, Salter and Meller were singled out by the inquiry as part of a group of senior executives that allegedly modified a report by law firm Clayton Utz and submitted it to the regulator in late 2017 as “external and independent”.

Their intention was to limit the report’s findings about the involvement of AMP’s senior executives in misappropriating customer fees, the inquiry heard.

AMP said in its statement that Brenner, Meller and the other directors “did not act inappropriately in relation to the preparation of the Clayton Utz report”.

The statement did not comment on Salter’s behavior.

REMUNERATION CONSEQUENCES

The company said it would make a formal submission in response to the allegations raised at the commission by May 4.

The “employment and remuneration consequences” for individuals who were responsible for charging fraudulent fees will be determined once an external employment review is completed, which is expected shortly, it said.

AMP added that it would slash fees for board directors by 25 percent for the rest of 2018 as a recognition of the “collective governance accountability for the issues raised in the Royal Commission and for their impact on the reputation of AMP”.

AMP has already started searching for a new CEO, and will fast track the selection of a new chair to “help ensure stability and further strengthen governance”, Wilkins said.

David Ellis, an analyst at Morningstar, said it was likely more executives and board members would leave in coming weeks.

“All bets are off,” Ellis said. “With a new CEO and a new board, the future strategy could be completely different.”

AMP is currently staring at a possible shareholder class action, with litigation financier IMF Bentham Ltd saying it plans to fund one against the wealth manager regarding alleged misconduct as revealed by the commission.

An AMP spokeswoman declined to comment on the proposed class action.

The Royal Commission is just a couple of months into what is expected to be a year-long investigation. The inquiry will be able to make wide-ranging recommendations including legislative changes and on criminal or civil prosecutions.

AMP chairwoman, legal counsel exit in wake of misconduct scandal

SYDNEY (Reuters) – AMP Ltd announced the resignations of its chairwoman and legal counsel, and slashed its directors’ fees by a quarter, as Australia’s largest listed-wealth manager tries to stem the fallout from damaging revelations of misconduct.

The exits come just a week after the departure of CEO Craig Meller in the wake of disclosures at a judicial inquiry into the country’s financial sector that AMP misled customers and repeatedly deceived the corporate regulator.

Chairwoman Catherine Brenner and group general counsel Brian Salter will depart immediately, AMP said in a statement.

Mike Wilkins, who has been named both interim chairman and CEO, said the evidence given to the government-backed Royal Commission is “being treated extremely seriously by the board”.

“Appropriate steps are being taken to address the issues raised, and remediating our customers is being given utmost priority,” he said on Monday.

AMP has seen around A$2.2 billion ($1.7 billion) wiped off its market capitalization during the commission’s two-week public hearing focusing on financial advice. It was valued at A$11.6 billion at Friday’s close.

The hearing was told that advisers at AMP misappropriated funds of thousands of clients over the last decade by charging them without providing advice, and that it had repeatedly lied to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Counsel assisting the inquiry warned on Friday that AMP had breached provisions of the Corporations Act that carry criminal sanctions.

The Royal Commission is just a couple of months into what is expected to be a year-long investigation. The inquiry will be able to make wide-ranging recommendations including legislative changes and on criminal or civil prosecutions.

Wilkins said the selection of a new AMP chair would be fast tracked, along with the CEO search already underway, to “help ensure stability and further strengthen governance”.

AMP said it will reduce fees for all board directors by 25 percent for the rest of 2018 as a recognition of the “collective governance accountability for the issues raised in the Royal Commission and for their impact on the reputation of AMP.”

It also said the “employment and remuneration consequences” for individuals who were responsible for charging fraudulent fees would be determined once an external employment review was completed, which it expected shortly.

The company said it will be making a formal submission in response to the allegations raised at the Commission by May 4.
