<p><p>I am relying on the &quot; Experience&quot; pathway. I have qualified in every respect - however, the ASIC website which requires me to update my record, is extremely difficult and very non-intuitive to negotiate. I have lost count of the number of times my very experienced PA has tried, but ends up not being able to negotiate a pathway to successful registration. I wonder how many other frustrated AFSLs are trying - but are being beaten by the dreadful ASIC Website software - and then they have the hide to blame us! if you want help, you sit on the phone to ASIC for an hour - we have already done this on several occasions - with no resolution.<p>I booked for ASIC to phone me last Friday, to assist - we didn&#39;t get a call. I don&#39;t know how many hours spent on this, trying to get the FAR record correctly updated, to no avail so far. It is extremely frustrating.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>I am surprised that it is legal for ASIC to have pushed this confusing onus on advisers who did nothing wrong while the CEOs have not had to re-skill, re-educate and not even asked to complete a refresher course on &quot;CORPORATE GOVERNANCE&quot;. It is infuriating and honestly unethical. I too have been trying to navigate this circus for years. My life and livelihood still on hold pending some communication from a decision maker who understands the maze.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
