CASE STUDY Overview
In order to achieve competence, you will need to demonstrate a clear understanding of complex loan scenarios, proving you are competent at Diploma level. This case study will determine your understanding of the complexities of various loan scenarios and the outcome for your clients.
The requirements for this case study is to prepare a submission for assessment in two parts.
Submission Part 1 – Fully completed set of NCCP Act Compliance documents including related interview and diary notes.Submission Part 2 – Fully completed loan submission to the lender/s of your clients’ choice. Please also note at this stage we have options for you to choose given the industry area you are currently servicing e.g. Investment property loan, Commercial/Business Loan, Self-Managed Superfund Loan or a Plant and Equipment loan. You make the choice but all required documents (no matter what industry you select) must be enclosed.Please ensure the following documents and processes are included in your client and loan submissions in the following order:
Submission Part 1
A completed Client Needs Review/Fact Find form which has allowed you to review and research your client’s information.A client signed Privacy Consent form to exchange personal information with other third parties. Because of the variances in the make-up of a number of the compliance forms used by the industry, this authority may already be included in the Credit Guide or other such compliance documents. At the end of the day, they all have the same meaning and intent.A completed Statement of Credit Advice or a Credit Quote or a Credit Proposal Disclosure Document which you have presented to your clients’ with the recommendation of a lender. Your recommendation will in all probability provide the solution the clients are seeking. It should be in the appropriate format that the clients will easily understand. This document also serves as your authority to proceed with the lodgement of the loan application.

What we are asking for here is an application that you would send to the lender. Whilst you would not normally include in your submitted lenders file the Clients Needs Review/Fact Find, Statement of Credit Advice/Client credit quote you need to maintain them on the clients file for audit purposes and we need to verify them for assessment purpose.

The task is presented in the form of a case study around a complex Residential, Commercial, SMSF or Plant and Equipment lending scenario. It is your choice as to which loan option you select as a case study, provided however your submission meets the structured process we are seeking from you.Whilst the traditional finance broker will look at the options via the traditional pathways of commercial and or investment property, please understand that (given Australia now ranks second in litigious actions) it would be wise to fully understand the client’s overall personal situation before making recommendations. It may even be more beneficial for the clients to place this transaction via their Self Managed Superannuation fund as that may produce a more tax effective solution for the client. Remember if you are not authorised to give advice in this area refer the client to one of your strategic advisors who is. AAMC Training provides qualification courses in this area.Please ensure that you assess applicable fees and charges in line with requirements of the State/Territory in which you operateThe majority information to complete the case study is included in the scenarios provided or within the Learning GuideSome information has been deliberately excluded and you will be required to identify and document these items. This Case Study has been designed so that it can be written as a complex property investment loan, a self-managed superannuation loan, a business loan or plant and equipment loan. It is up to the individual to determine which type is best for the client.It is recommended that you use your own NCCP Act document templates to complete Submission Part 1If you do not have access to these documents you can login to download sample templates from the AAMC Members’ area at www.aamctraining.edu.au under the Useful Resources – Forms, Documents & Templates tab.

WHAT THEY TOLD YOU
Jason and Rebecca have been clients of yours since 2005. At that time, you assisted them with a home loan from St George Bank to purchase their current owner occupied home. Home loan balance is $360,000 and a recent real estate agent appraisal of their home, located at 7 Park Lane in a good suburb in your State/Territory, estimates the market value to be $1m. They are open to a refinance or restructure of this loan with their own bank or with any other lender if required.
Jason and Rebecca also have $257K each in their Self Managed Super Fund in cash.
Glossy White Paint has been operating since 2000. A couple of years ago Rebecca completed her interior design qualifications and Jason is a qualified painter.
The unit trust was set up by their accountant, who also provides a book-keeping service for them so that all the BAS and other accounting needs are met professionally.
They do not consult currently with a financial planner but they did say to you that their accountant has also been on to them about using the funds more effectively in their self managed superannuation fund. Their accountant is tied in with a Dealer Group and is also authorised to give advice in this area, hence his insistence on them discussing the $514K cash sitting in their SMSF. Rebecca mentions that referral for this type of service provided by a financial planner would be a good idea as a second opinion as well, plus they also need to sort out their insurances. She has asked for your recommendation of a suitable professional. Jason looks a little uncomfortable with this request. Your experience here tells you that you had better address his issues without delay, to avoid losing the referral to another Broker. You also know, from your experience in your role, that many Australians are under insured and many do not have wills in place. The clients are typical and express the opinion “Oh it won’t happen to us”. They do not want to admit their shortcomings in these two vitally important areas. Nor do they wish to admit the possibility of not earning an income, become ill or even worse die.
Please note:
Courts in Australia deem Finance Brokers to be professional and as such under the Duty of Care have a legal obligation to advise clients of the ramifications of financial hardship caused through illness, accident or death.
Rebecca is concerned about how they will meet interest costs until homes are completed and rented. She has asked you for options in this area.
THE DEAL
Choose one of the case studies to present for assessment purposes. Please remember to follow the structured process we have set out in the course manual.
You should also note that the correct selection must be made to suit clients’ best interest, not what you feel is necessary in your comfort zone. So remember, unless you have some understanding of all the available options the clients will be or maybe disadvantaged and seek restitution from yourself sometime in the future. We will not penalise you for any selection you make, we are only seeking to assess your ability to prepare the loan application and applicable forms etc. to meet the required standards for the loan you have selected for your clients.
Option 1 – Can be structured as an investment property loan
Jason advises that they have located a derelict home on a large block of land in a nearby suburb that they would like to purchase with the aim of constructing three freestanding dwellings. These homes will be rented out upon completion. They hope to retain them for at least 20 years and then sell to help fund retirement or perhaps for the older kids to live in down the track. Their solicitor has advised that given block size it may be advisable to subdivide and for each home to have separate title. Property is a corner block.
A local real estate agent has stated that the rental returns would be slightly higher than suburb average, as the area is made up of much older homes. Capital growth could also be above average as the suburb is ideally placed for medium density development. Schools and shops are nearby. Transport infrastructure is a little lacking.
Property contract purchase price is $500,000.
The Builder’s tender is for a total of $600,000 and does not include demolition, site clearance or subdivision costs. Builder is licensed and reputable and project will be funded via progress payments. Separate quote provided for demolition and clearance of $50,000. Solicitor advises subdivision costs of approximately $25,000. Clients wish to borrow all of the project costs including lender, legal, government and any other charges and fees. Estimated completion date is in 6 months. Estimation is based on the completion valuation of $400,000 per property and rentals should be around $450 PW per unit.
Options 2 and 3 can be structured as either a commercial loan or a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund Loan
Clients are not sure which way they want to structure this loan and have come to you seeking your advice and guidance as they are now seeking to purchase stand-alone commercial premises to house their painting business and plant and equipment. They inspected a commercial property located at 3 John Street, your suburb which is the suburb next to where they live. Their children now need more space at the family home and hence they are seriously considering the need to move the business to either a rental property or look to purchase their own. They are keen to look at purchasing their own as they will also retain an asset that way. They will be paying rental in line with market value in that area which is relatively cheap for what they are getting at $700 per week. There will also be outgoings on the building of an estimated $5k a year.
They mention to you that their accountant has discussed setting up the Bear Trust if they wish to purchase commercial Property to house their business, if they choose to fund via through the SMSF vehicle.
Deal via Commercial or SMSF Borrowings
Purchase Price $750K made up of:
GST $75K
Loan app fee $7.5K
Stamp duty $41K
Valuation etc. $1.5KTotal $875K
LVR 70% $525K
Security Commercial Funding- Family Home and Commercial PropertyorSecurity SMSF Borrowings- Commercial Property and SMSF Funds
Option 4 – Can be structured as a plant and equipment loan using the following scenario:
Glossy White Pty Ltd recently won a contract to paint a large supermarket chain (inside and outside). The contract covers 30 stores throughout Victoria, NSW and Queensland. Internal work will need to be done of an evening when the stores are closed and it is expected to take two weeks per store using four painters and two hydraulic scissor lifts.
The contract is for $25,000 (excluding GST) per store and all work must be completed within 24 months. Half of the income will be paid on commencement of the work for each store and the balance on completion.
Jason has estimated he will need to employ a further three painters at a salary of $65,000 each and will also need to purchase two hydraulic scissor lifts with cage and trailer at a cost of $21,000 (including GST) each.
Clients have not yet spoken to Accountant however feel they would like to purchase the equipment in the Trust (White Unit Trust) and also rent the machines out when not in use at the end of the contract.
You are required to prepare a complex application, loan documents, provide all supporting documents (including invoices) and a cash flow showing repayments and all costs that can be covered from contract income.

Financial Services Credit Guide/Credit GuideAlong with the ACR’s profile this guide is handed to the clients at initial interview and it sets out the services that are offered along with the Privacy Policy of that organisation and the complaints procedure.Authority to Act & Privacy Consent FormThe authority to act allows the finance broker to act on behalf of the client when dealing with the lender and other related parties to loan. The privacy consent form allows the finance broker to store and use relevant client information to assist in the loan application process without breaching privacy laws. This will most likely be contained in the credit proposal (mentioned below).Authorised Credit Representative profileThis form is which sets out the Authorised Credit Representative’s profile and authority to act on behalf of a credit licence holder and what products the ACR can introduce to under that authority. At initial interview the clients must be handed a copy. This may be an addendum to the Credit Guide.Data Collection – Business or Personal Consumer Client Needs Review/fact FindBy using a Client Needs Review/Fact Find you will have all the information required to form an opinion as to what type of loan best suits the clients’ requirements. At the same time, you are acting with due diligence in asking the clients questions about their financial security in the event of an unforeseen circumstance that causes financial hardship. You have a legal obligation to yourself and the clients to make them aware of the ramifications of an unexpected illness, accident or even death. By signing a Client Needs Review they can accept your offer of a referral to an insurance professional or alternatively decline your recommendation, thereby you have documentary evidence of your professionalism. You do not have to sell Risk Products but you have complied with the requirements under the Duty of Care by having adopted the above actions.Costing sheet for fees and chargesEstimate of total fees and charges payable to the financier in relation to applying for the finance will form part of the credit proposal. However, the broker may want to complete a cost analysis to determine savings or equity versus costs associated with the purchase and finance. This is not a requirement of the submission but may rather be a process you may want to adopt for purchases.Interview notesA file copy of your interview notes will go a long way to avoid any adverse opinions from any audit that may be undertaken by any aggregator company or ASIC official. Whilst documents required under NCC such as a fact find/client needs review, preliminary assessment and credit proposal will highlight requirements and recommendations they may cover all conversations/ time lines between the broker and client.Preliminary AssessmentBased upon your enquiries as to the financial situation, requirements and objectives of your client you are required to conduct a preliminary assessment to determine whether the proposed credit contract/lease is ‘not unsuitable’ for the client. This must be done prior to suggesting the client applies for, or providing assistance applying for a particular credit contract.Credit Quote and Credit Proposal DocumentsThese forms may be incorporate into the one document. The Credit Quote outlines the maximum fees and charges payable to the credit representative and licensee for credit assistance. Must be provided before credit assistance is provided. The Credit Proposal document outlines the fees, charges and commissions relating to the particular credit contract or consumer lease and to whom/by whom they are payable.Statement of Credit/Mortgage AdviceThis is the document the client signs giving the Authorised Credit Adviser authority to act on the client’s behalf and also give privacy consent for the personal details to be passed onto the lending institution. It also advises the amount of commission a broker will receive as well as the costs involved in taking out the loan. A copy of this appointment must be given to the client and a copy kept on your file. This document may be a combination of industry known documents as stated above and not required if you have completed credit proposal and credit quoteEvidence of incomeLenders require documentary evidence of income to support a loan application. Verifying employment may be in the form of two or three consecutively dated payslips plus a PAYG summary that indicates regular overtime or allowances/commissions. A letter or employment contract from the employer will also suffice in the absence of payslips. Other income will require documentary evidence as determined by the lender.Self-employed/ Commercial clientsA copy of the last two years’ individual’s and company tax returns/financial statements along with a serviceability assessment for self-employed individual/partner.Signed statement of assets & liabilities (SOP)This information allows lenders to readily ascertain the financial standing of the applicants.Cash flow forecastWhen you are arranging funding for the larger type loans, whether it is for plant and equipment or say, a commercial factory unit a Cash Flow Forecast is essential as it will assist the lender in appreciating where the business is headed. But remember it will have no bearing on the lender’s decision-making as it will look only at anecdotal evidence.ServiceabilityWhen submitting an application, you are to include a Serviceability Assessment sheet which shows the lender you have ensured the clients can afford the loan. You will find these assessment tools form part of the lenders’ online broker toolkit and are relatively simple to use. When you undertake your accreditation training each lender will provide the facility or you will have access to all the tools through your aggregator.Copy of the Offer to Purchase/Suppliers Invoice (Showing serial numbers etc. to identify goods and chattels)A sheet of paper representing the document will be sufficient evidence. However, most lenders will be required to verify the original document. You will be advised of their requirements when you complete the accreditation courses. This information is vital in proving ownership of the goods.Copy of the Offer and Acceptance (WA) or Contract of SaleLenders need a copy of the completed O&A or COS to verify the purpose of the loan and for the ordering of valuations, if required. You will be advised of their requirements when you complete the accreditation courses. It is also worth noting that some lenders will only carry out a kerb-side valuation when the LVR is 80% or less.First Home Owners Grant applicationWhilst the Federal Government provides the funding for these concessions each State and Territory Government administers the schemes. Therefore, so your clients can get the maximum benefits available, your task is to research this area of funding thoroughly by visiting the Office of Revenue in the jurisdiction in which you operate. These forms are to be completed to accompany your case study files.First Home Buyers Stamp Duty Concession applicationAs explained above there are variances in what concessions are available. However, notwithstanding the fact that in some areas solicitors/conveyancers or settlement agents handle this aspect of the transaction, we at AAMC believe it is up to the Broker to ensure that there is a smooth settlement transition. This will happen if the Broker provides the clients with the necessary paperwork, has it completed correctly and keeps it on file for presentation to the correct parties when settlement is due to take place.Copy of Motor Vehicle Registration PapersFor the same reasons as stated in item 12.Private Sale documentsYou may not come across this type of loan requirement often; however, you will be required to produce additional information such as: An inspection report A valuation report A Statutory Declaration from the supplier/owner showing ownership and encumbrance free Vendor ID and bank details.Fully completed loan applicationLet us first accept that all lenders require the same information, however with the layout of their application forms it just appears in different places. You are not only expected to provide the clients’ full personal details, but you are obliged to be honest and frank about the information you are submitting. As a Broker you are also obliged to inform either the lender or the client of any information of which you become aware that may have a material effect on the transaction. If you do not follow this principle you could well become the subject of legal action from either party. The application forms are quite simple to complete provided, however, you have gathered all the information to make it a simple task. There is one area on confusion and that is the completion of the “Declaration of Purpose”. By completing this incorrectly, you may jeopardise your clients’ rights under the National Consumer Credit Protection CT 2009.Notes to LenderLenders when assessing a loan rely heavily on information provided. They do not have the privilege of sitting down and interviewing the clients. As you have already learnt, Brokers must provide as much information as possible when submitting a loan application, of any nature, to ensure a fair and reasonable decision can be made by the lender. Therefore, it is in everybody’s interests to highlight valid points in a Cover Sheet. Shown below this table are two options that tell a tale. Please do not just copy these examples and submit – use your initiative and present the information along similar lines as we have demonstrated. There will be many and varied reasons why you think an application should be approved so let the lender share your reasons. Don’t make them second guess. If you follow this path, it will stand you in good stead with the lenders and exhibit a standard of professionalism that unfortunately not enough Brokers take seriously. Half measures or the attitude “Close enough is good enough” does not wash in today’s competitive economic climate. Lenders that receive half-baked applications will put them to one side and get on with the fully detailed ones to acknowledge the correct presentation.Lender’s document checklistAll lenders have a checklist to ensure you have submitted the application correctly with all the supporting documentary evidence. Please ensure this is completed.AML/CTF ID InformationDue to criminal activities and money laundering you have to provide the necessary identifying documents to support the application. Where you are dealing with a client’s existing lender, note on the lender’s document file/checklist that you haven’t supplied the information because client is known to the lender. Some lenders carry out their own verification through their branch network.Business Registration/ Constitution and/or Trust DeedBusiness registration legitimises the authenticity of the applicant. The Constitution and/or Trust Deed reflect the authority of those able to act for and on behalf of the company.LOAN APPLICATION NOTES These notes will be part of the loan submission and should be included with the loan application. This form is for guidance only and you will need to create your own method.Loan application for MR XXXXXX & MRSXXXXXXXX XYZ Family TrustLocated in Loan application-structured process section in your learning guide Applicants’ details This should include a brief resume of the clients’ background and what they seek to achieve in the future with the granting of this loan application.
