Australia's Federal Court found the bank failed to prevent its financial planners from 'morally indefensible' conduct. 9News

AMP has been ordered to pay a $5.175 million penalty after Australia's Federal Court found the bank had failed to prevent its financial planners from "morally indefensible" conduct.

Specifically, financial planners were found to have engaged in "rewriting conduct", which means they provided advice that resulted in the cancellation of a client's existing insurance policy.
