FADC prepares for another case
The Financial Advisers Disciplinary Committee is readying to hear another case.

It has scheduled a hearing on July 17.
But the committee registrar said no further details could be made available.
"Under the FADC Rules, we are required to hold a preliminary conference before the hearing. No details will be published prior to that conference."
While the FADC has had a light workload so far, it will continue to operate once the Financial Services Legislation Amendment Bill comes into force, imposing more regulator requirements on a wider population of advisers.
The committee was established in 2010 to conduct disciplinary proceedings arising from complaints about AFAs, referred by the Financial Markets Authority.
It can make determinations and impose penalties ranging from recommending an AFA's authorisation be cancelled to a fine of up to $10,000.
Since 2010, it has only made 10 determinations, including four to two advisers. Three determinations were about advisers whose identities were suppressed. David Ross, Stephen Musaphia, Rodney Bourke-Shaw and Graham Beecroft have all been dealt with by the committee.
Ross's case was adjourned, pending his criminal charges.
