The Gold Books are widely considered to be an industry standard for managing the business operations of an independent insurance intermediary.
The Insurance Broking version of the Gold Book has been used by OAMPS, IBNA, RIBA, Insurance AdviserNet and Steadfast Groups as well as many independent brokers. ASIC, the financial services regulator, uses the Gold Book for educational and reference purposes when reviewing AFSL applications.
In view of the extent of take-up of Gold Seal’s approach, it does seem likely that within a few years insurance intermediaries in Australia will enjoy a consistent standard in operating, risk management and compliance procedures.
