Finsia appoints interim CEO

Australian Banking & Finance, August 15, 2007

The Financial Services Institute of Australasia (Finsia) has appointed Stephen Harrison as its interim Chief Executive Officer, following the proposed sale of its financial services education business to Kaplan, Inc.

Finsia president Michael Shepherd said: "Our incumbent CEO and managing director Brian Salter will stay with us to concentrate on the final aspects of

the Finsia-Kaplan sale process. Meanwhile Stephen will assume responsibility for developing the 'new Finsia' as a professional body centred on member service and industry advocacy."

Harrison is experienced in the management of membership organisations. From 1991 to 2005 he was chief executive officer of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia. Before that he worked at the University of Sydney for 25 years, commencing as a teaching fellow and leaving as the university's deputy principal and bursar.

The Finsia board aims to appoint a permanent CEO before the end of this year.
