AMP Financial Planning (AMPFP) has announced that it has significantly upgraded the number of customers it will be contacting in relation to the enforceable undertaking it entered into with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) last year.

In an announcement released on the Australian Stock Exchange this morning, the company said it had originally estimated that around 7,000 customers out of a total of 720,000 would need to be contacted, but this had been upgraded to 35,000 customers.

AMP chief executive Andrew Mohl said the implementation of the undertaking on client rectification had proven to be far more complex than anticipated.

He said the number had changed as a result of AMPFP’s own verification processes, as well as discussions with ASIC and external expert Deloitte

Mohl said this had resulted in the inclusion of existing AMPFP retail superannuation clients as well as new retail superannuation clients.
