At AFCA, we believe in being clear, honest and accountable to the public.
We acknowledge our important public role and recognise that transparency in our data and decisions is essential to rebuilding trust in the financial sector.
In making determinations AFCA identifies the financial firm the complaint is lodged against, but we don’t identify other parties to the complaint.
We won’t publish a determination that risks identifying any party other than the financial firm.
During 2022-23, we published 3,671 decisions naming the financial firm involved.
Due to compelling reasons provided by financial firms we elected not to publish one decision, as per Rule A.14.5.
