Lifespan appoints compliance lead


In response to “evolving” legislative requirements, Adrian Caspar will return to Lifespan Financial Planning and has been appointed as risk and compliance lead.
Caspar, who previously worked for Lifespan between 2011 and 2014, had over 15 years’ experience in financial services with his most recent roles focused on compliance, risk management and governance.
He had also worked for a range of organisations including Avant Mutual, KPMG Australia, Total Financial Solutions and ANZ.
Eugene Ardino, Lifespan chief executive, said the appointment was a proactive response to evolving legislative requirements.
“Adrian is a safe pair of hands and will be a reliable source of knowledge for our advice community,” Ardino said.
“He will provide leadership in our compliance and risk management approach and will assist Lifespan to further deliver proactive and collaborative compliance and risk management support.”
