Financial services roles shift with RC
2019 saw major changes in renumeration for financial services due to findings from the Royal Commission, and state and federal elections, according to the Morgan McKinley 2020 Salary Guide, which covered the latest renumeration insights from the last 12 months.
Analysis from Morgan McKinley said the Royal Commission not only tipped the finance sector on its head, but changes were felt throughout the wider Australian economy.
“It wasn’t all bad news, however, the demand for regulatory, risk, remediation and compliance professionals peaked significantly across both permanent and contract roles, as organisations rearranged their budgets and shifted their focus,” it said.
“The state and federal elections also caused the economy to push the “pause” and “rearrange” buttons, but only for a short time.”
