IOOF has lost its group general manager of dealerships Mick Farrell at a time when the company is grappling with a scandal in its research department. Mr. Farrell left in January after three years at the company where he oversaw the integration of IOOF's various financial advice brands into one dealership group, including its series of acquisitions over the period between 2013 and end of 2015. With Mr. Farrell returning to his private consultancy business, IOOF has appointed Renato Mota to the newly created role of group general manager wealth management.
