More recently the National Australia Bank has become embroiled in industry misconduct after a whistleblower released a cache of documents that called into question its own practices and risk management systems. "We have suspended, terminated or ensured resignations of 31 NAB financial planners and aligned advisers over the past two years due to conflicts of interest, inappropriate advice, inappropriate practices or serious repeat compliance breaches," one of the internal reports revealed. Another six, it said, had been sacked from Meritum, a NAB-owned advice network that has 110 planners on its books.
