DDO six months on – what have we learnt and what’s next?

On 5 October 2021, the Design and Distribution Obligations (DDO) went live across the Australian financial services industry. The DDO regime introduced targeted and principles-based obligations in relation to the design and sale of financial products. Six months on, Deloitte conducted a post-implementation survey to see how the industry had implemented DDO, how it embedded arrangements into BAU, and whether it is continuing to enhance and improve processes post go-live.
