Recent data from Adviser Ratings has revealed that there were fewer than 200 limited licensed advisers — mostly accountants — at the end of last year, compared to 1,000 a few years ago.

Despite the already rapid decrease, Adviser Ratings said it expects limited licensee numbers to fall into double digits this year.

Accountants were able to give limited advice about SMSFs prior to 1 July 2016 without needing to hold an AFS licence, however, after that date, an accountant who wished to continue to provide advice that was broader than that permitted by the exemptions in the Corporations Act was required to apply for an AFS licence.
