It’s a super hyper-ethical

Technical Summit 2021

Through the use of hyper-ethicals (ethical hypotheticals), we look at the cross over between the sole purpose test and other SMSF covenants, the best financial interests requirements and the FASEA Code of Ethics. Can these all work together, or do they cause a conflict of their own?

At the end of the session, you will:

  • Have a greater understanding of ethical issues that arise in providing advice to SMSF trustees / members;
  • Have an increased ability to identify potential ethical dilemmas and barriers to ethical decision making, and;
  • Develop ways to approach and document consideration of ethical issues.
