The board of Australian Financial Services Group (AFS Group) has backed the company's chief executive, Peter Daly, in the face of reports of adverse comments attributed to a former board member.

In a message to AFS and Salisbury Group principals, AFS chairman Barry Stephen said the board disapproved of the comments related to Daly and described them as a "filtered and subjective view of the past" which "contain numerous material inaccuracies".

"The Board totally supports Peter Daly and believes he is the correct person to lead the organisation and commends him on the professional way in which he has dealt with these personal attacks," Stephen's message.

"The Board is equally committed to the growth and success of the Salisbury Group and has no intention of consolidating practices nor of disposing of anything or anybody," his message said.
