Cease (remove) a relevant provider

Australian financial services (AFS) licensees must notify ob体育 when they cease a relevant provider鈥檚 (including a听provisional relevant provider 补苍诲听time-share adviser) authorisation.

To do this, AFS licensees must cease (remove) the relevant provider鈥檚 appointment on the Financial Advisers Register听飞颈迟丑颈苍听30 business days.

When you cease a relevant provider鈥檚 authorisation and they are not appointed by another AFS licensee on the Financial Advisers Register, they will no longer be 鈥榗urrent鈥� on听the Financial Advisers Register.听

Up to 25 relevant providers can be removed in one transaction.
