Graham Currie has resigned after 22 years in the top job at Insurance and Finance Managers of Australia (IFMA).
Currie is leaving IFMA to pursue other business opportunities but will stay on as non-executive director. The executive chairman of IFMA, Paul Serong, will assume day to day management of the group, at least in the short term.
Serong says IFMA will undergo structural changes in response to up-coming legislative changes to the financial services industry.
"We are very well placed for CLERP 6 due to Graham's foresight. Com-panies are like products, they have life cycles. What we want to do in the future is to provide the one stop shop for clients," he says.
"We see financial planning as the future. I am here to put the sizzle back in the sausage."
IFMA has a broker and dealer's license and specialises in risk insur-ance. It provides administration, training, compliance and business development to about 600 advisers around Australia.
