Assignment tasks (student to complete)
Task 1 — Initial disclosures
Following a personal introduction and before you begin gathering information about the clients’ existing
financial situation or needs, there are certain disclosures you are required to make as a finance
broker.These disclosures include the way you are remunerated and the range and limitation of your
services.
1. There are four (4) documents listed in ASIC Information sheet INFO 146 ‘Responsible lending disclosure
obligations – Overview for credit licensees and representatives’that must be provided to customers.
Refer to this Information sheet and the information contained in your topic notes to answer part (a) and
(b) below.
(a) Identify which of these four (4)documents you must provide your client before you commence
providing credit assistance and explain the main disclosures relevant tothat document. (40 words)
Student response to Task 1: Question 1(a)
1.CREDIT GUIDE:
A credit guide provides preliminary information about a finance broker to a consumer. The time at which I
have to provide a credit guide will depend on what type of entity I am and what credit activities I engage in,
but will generally be before I engage in credit activities with the consumer.
2.QUOTE:
A quote shows the customer the estimated cost of using the mortgage broking service. Before providing
credit assistance, the mortgage broker must give the customer a quote. The customer must accept the
quote by signing and dating it. Provide the customer with a copy of the accepted quote. (A mortgage broker
needs to make all home loan customers aware of the range of fees and charges for which they will be
responsible.)
3.PROPOSAL DOCUMENT:
A proposal document sets out the costs to the consumer of using your services, including any commissions
you may receive. You have to give a proposal document at the same time you provide credit assistance to a
consumer.
4.WRITTEN ASSESSMENT:
This is a preliminary or final written assessment that a credit contract or consumer lease is ‘not unsuitable’
for the consumer. You are required to give a free copy of the written assessment to the consumer if they
ask you for one within seven years of entering into the credit contract (if you are a credit provider) or of the
date of the quote (if you are a credit assistance provider).
You are not required to give a written assessment to a consumer if the credit contract or consumer lease is
not entered into or the credit limit is not increased (if you are a credit provider), or if you do not provide
credit assistance (if you are a credit assistance provider).
Before commencing providing credit assistance, the broker must provide a credit
