Total rewards for chief executive were cut by 11%.

Reuters reports that embattled National Australia Bank (NAB) has cut the remuneration package for its executive team after a powerful inquiry uncovered systemic evidence of widespread misconduct across the financial services sector.

The bank reduced total rewards at current target levels for its chief executive by about 11% from 2017 in fiscal 2018 whilst rewards for its executive leadership team would be reduced by about 15% from 2017.

This comes on the heels of the departure of consumer banking executive Andrew Hagger after being in charge of a division that has been under intense scrutiny after allegedly charging fees to thousands of retirees for financial advice that never materialised.

NAB also flagged changes to performance-based incentives and said that the board could defer or forfeit any variable rewards for executives.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
