   Supervision Insights report

   An overview of the FMA’s supervision activities and findings from our monitoring reviews of regulated entities. The insights in this report tell us that large parts of the industry are working hard to move towards the expectations we and other regulators have articulated. They also give a clear message of problem areas within the industry and how we expect these to be improved. Most of the issues we identified were the result of a casual or careless approach to conduct and compliance, rather than being deliberate misconduct. However, left unchecked, this disregard can escalate into poor outcomes for customers, in a way that may not be immediately obvious. We want there to be no doubt that providers will be culpable if they fail to take appropriate care of customers and their outcomes. Download the full report on this page.
