đ¤Xplan Hint: DBFO consent comes to Xplan Risk Researcher
Did you know Risk Researcher now enables you to document client consent for insurance commissions? As many of you know, from 9 July 2025, advisers providing personal advice on life insurance will need to obtain informed client consent before implementing advice or receiving commissions. (Delivering Better Financial Outcomes (DBFO) Act 2024,) Now, you can easily record client consent using the new Insurance Commission Consent (ICC) column in Risk Researcherâs recommendations screen. It allows you to indicate whether consent has been received for each product you recommend. And yes, thereâs new merge syntax available so you can include the details in your documents. This update was the result of conversations with several of you. Many shared that consent would typically be captured in their Advice documents (e.g., ATP) or other consent forms. For more information, check out the community article Meeting DBFO informed consent requirements in Xplan. Now that Risk Researcher supports consent tracking, and lets you include it in your documents, weâre also thinking ahead. Are there other ways youâd like to use this data? Weâd love to hear your thoughts around any other use cases you see for insurance fee consent. Let us know in this thread!
