The five checks
1. Licence / registration
The professional or their licensee appears on the relevant public register, and the licence or registration number they gave us matches.
Source: ASIC Financial Advisers Register, ASIC Professional Registers, Tax Practitioners Board register (as relevant to the profession)
2. AFCA membership
Where the profession requires it (financial advice, credit, insurance broking), the business or its licensee is a current AFCA member, giving clients free external dispute resolution.
Source: Australian Financial Complaints Authority member search
3. Professional indemnity insurance
A current certificate of currency is sighted and the expiry date recorded. We do not assess whether the cover amount suits your matter.
Source: Certificate of currency supplied by the professional
4. Qualifications
Stated designations such as CPA, CA, CFP or MFAA membership are confirmed against the issuing body where a public lookup exists.
Source: Professional body member directories (e.g. CPA Australia, CA ANZ, FAAA/CFP, MFAA, FBAA) or certificates supplied
5. Enforcement & banned lists
We search for current bans, disqualifications or published enforcement action. Absence of a record is reported as “none found”, never as a guarantee.
Source: ASIC Banned and Disqualified Persons Register, ASIC enforcement outcomes, Tax Practitioners Board decisions
Complaint history
Where a public source exists (such as AFCA published determinations), we will show aggregated counts only — never commentary. We do not currently publish complaint aggregates for any professional, because we have not yet built a reliable, like-for-like dataset. We would rather show nothing than something misleading.
5 questions to ask any professional
Verification is a floor, not a guarantee. These questions help you judge fit for yourself.
1. What is your licence or registration number, and whose licence are you operating under?
You can check it yourself on the ASIC or Tax Practitioners Board register in a minute.
2. How are you paid — by me, by commission, or both?
Payment structure shapes incentives. Commissions and fees should be disclosed in writing.
3. Who do I complain to if something goes wrong?
Licensed financial firms must have internal dispute resolution and, where required, AFCA membership.
4. What exactly will you do for me, and what is outside your scope?
The “last 10%” should be defined before you pay for it.
5. Do you have professional indemnity insurance that covers this work?
PI cover protects clients if professional negligence causes loss.
What verification does not mean
- It is a point-in-time check. Registers change; each check shows the date it was done.
- It is not a rating, ranking or recommendation of any professional.
- “No enforcement action found” means none was found in the public sources searched on that date — not that none exists.
- MyMoney® does not currently match you with, or refer you to, a specific professional while we review our service model.
