The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has warned the 37,000 financial firms who are members of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) that haven’t reported their memberships to do so or face late fees.

Financial firms were given an extension of time to notify ASIC, but the regulator has held firm on the final notification date, 30 November 2018.
