SCHRODER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA LIMITED
Schroders Australia's Kellie Wood talks about winning a lot, so much so that it's become a well-intentioned joke with her co-workers - but it's this ambitious attitude that spurs her on every day. Eliza Bavin writes.
The continuing lack of common sense & accountability & responsibility never ceases to amaze me. Here is the Lead person for ASIC again as a prime example. If you are an authorised rep under an AFSL - the AFSL already has to ensure that you meet all of your ongoing CPD/Training & have to be fit/proper for purpose - otherwise WHY are the AFSL's licencing them in the 1st place ?
Another beautiful "handball" too about the exam - yes we are responsible for administering it, but we have nothing to do with the format or what is in it - i.e. Not My Problem !!! And Stephen Jones wants to hire an extra 8,000 public servants.
