Section 1
Case study 1 — Malcolm and Susan Johnson
Assignment tasks (student to complete)
Task 1 — Initial disclosures
Following a personal introduction, and before you begin gathering information about the clients’ existing
financial situation or needs, there are certain disclosures you are required to make as a finance broker
regarding the way you are remunerated and the range and limitation of your services.
Identify and describe three (3) of these disclosures. (200 words)
Tips
Remember that you must identify at least three (3) disclosures here, and you should include a description
of each.
The disclosures you discuss should be those that a finance broker makes to prospective borrowers about
the range and limitations of their services.
Refer to Topic 1-2 and Topic 3-1 of your subject notes for information on disclosures.
Task 2 — Gathering and documenting client information
Complete the Client Information Collection Tool using the information provided in the case study,
(Appendix 1, page 27 of your assignment template).
Note: Any assumptions you make should be listed, and not be in conflict with the case study information
already provided.
Tips
代写 Finance and Mortgage Broking (CIVMBv1) assignment
You should complete the Client Information Collection Tool based on the information you have been
provided with in the case study, in line with the client’s current situation.
Any information you haven’t been provided with you should make assumptions for as long as they’re not in
conflict with the case study.
Ensure you complete all parts of the information collection tool, including: the Needs Analysis, Notes, the
Anticipated Fees and Charges, Loan Interview Diary, values for the vehicle’s, and their borrowing capacity.
The Notes page is especially important to capture all other relevant information about client’s goals,
objectives, or other matters they have discussed at interview as recorded in the case background
information and not recorded anywhere else in the Fact Finder.
It is important that loan amount, LVR and fees and charges are calculated correctly as your work here is
used in Tasks 3 and 6.

Task 3 — Assessing the clients’ situation
1. Based on the information provided in the case study and using the tools available to you
(e.g. loan calculators, including those available on lenders’ websites), provide an assessment of
the clients’ borrowing ability and ability to service the loan they require.
Consider and comment on issues such as:
• borrowing ability in relation to the loan required
• deposit requirements for the loan required
• repayment ability based on the loan required
• likelihood that the clients will be able to meet their financial obligations
• do they require Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), and if so, how much will it cost?
• any other issues that may impact, now or in the future, on the clients’ ability to meet their
obligations, including any possible risks.
Provide data to support your comments and conclusions. (750 words)
2. Stress testing the loan repayments
Most lenders add an additional 2-3% on to the loan repayments to make sure a borrower can afford the
repayments. If interest rates moved 3% higher, what would Malcolm and Susan’s loan repayments be,
do you think they would be able to cope with the extra repayments, and what could you recommend
that may remove this consideration as a risk factor?
Tips
1. Ensure that as a minimum you identify and assess the key elements — these are listed for you in the
question:
• Borrowing ability — make sure you show your calculations
• Deposit requirements — remember to separate deposit from allowance for fees and charges
• Repayment ability — make sure you show your calculations
• Likelihood of the clients’ meeting their repayment commitments — this will be based on your
assessment
• Is Mortgage Insurance required and how much will it cost — you might also consider the options of
how cost can be paid
• Any other issues that may impact now or in the future, in relation to ability to meet obligation or
possible risks
Any assumptions that you make should be clear in your answer.
2. Use an appropriate online loan servicing calculator to complete your stress test calculations.
Subject note reference is Topic 3-1.

Task 4 — Responsible lending obligations
The National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 imposes ‘responsible lending’ obligations on brokers
that must be satisfied by all people arranging loan applications. The primary objective under responsible
lending guidelines is that the credit facility is ‘not unsuitable’ for the borrower.
Identify and describe the key factors that must be taken into consideration when assessing whether a credit
facility is ‘not unsuitable’ for a borrower. (100 words)
Tips
This task requires you to demonstrate your understanding of your obligations under the National Consumer
Credit Protection (NCCP) Act 2009.
It is essential when answering this questions that you identify and described the key elements that must be
taken into consideration when assessing whether a credit is ‘not unsuitable’ for a borrower.
Please refer to Topic 1-2 and Topic 1-3 for further information on determining if a loan is ‘not unsuitable’.
Task 5 — Reasonable enquiries
In the course of gathering information about the couple, you are required under the National Consumer
Credit Protection Act 2009 to make all ‘reasonable’ enquiries to determine a borrower’s objectives,
requirements and financial situation.
Identify at least six (6) ‘reasonable’ enquiries that you would make with the clients in the case study and
explain why these enquiries are important in terms of NCCP compliance. (200 words)
Tips
Remember this is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge to the assessor.
Do not simply list them, you must explain the purpose of each enquiry in your own words.
Refer to Topic 1-2 of your subject notes for further information.

Task 6 — Prepare your recommendation
Incorrect or uninformed advice can lead to significant financial detriment for your client and lead to
possible complaints against you for misleading or deceptive and misleading conduct.
Therefore, all three questions of this task are ‘critical’ and you must demonstrate the required knowledge
in each to be deemed competent.
(a) Based on the information presented in the case study, prepare a written professional proposal to
your clients. (750 words)
The style and language used in the proposal should be appropriate to the case study client’s level of
understanding. It should be clear and concise, and written in language that is easy to understand,
while still remaining professional in its presentation.
You may base your response to this part of the assignment on either your knowledge of the products
currently offered by your own organisation, or the products offered by a lender you have researched.
In your proposal, you should include:
• a summary of your understanding of the clients’ needs
• a summary of their current financial position
• the product options you have considered to meet their needs
• the option you recommend and the reasons for the recommendation. Explain how the
recommended product meets the clients’ needs
• disclosures applicable to the situation (a summary of likely applicable disclosures is adequate).
Consider disclosures that are required by both legislation and by lenders codes of practice.
Note: List any assumptions you have made about the clients and their situation in order to complete
this part of the assignment. There are no rules regarding the format. Please use the format that best
suits you. Note that the credit guide in your resources is not a ‘written proposal’.
(b) (i) Describe the workings of any home buyer assistance schemes and stamp duty concessions that
may be available in your State or Territory. Would your client be eligible for any of these?
(150 words)
(ii) Provide a summary of all additional costs and fees that the couple should be made aware of.
(150 words)
Note: When considering your response to these questions, bear in mind the couple’s inexperience
with the borrowing and property purchasing process.
Tips
Part (a)
This task requires you to prepare a written proposal addressed to your clients, and as such you should
ensure that it is presented in a professional manner.
Consider if you were the client - would you be happy if you were presented with your written proposal?

disadvantages.

for them.
It is important to explain the pros and cons of each strategy so that you can assess if your clients are
comfortable to proceed with it.

2. Suggest how Malcolm and Susan could potentially solve their dilemma.
