National Australia Bank
(ASX:NAB) yesterday saw both their chairman and CEO resign after a difficult week.
Chief Executive Officer Andrew Thorburn will step down on the 28th February and Chairman Dr Ken Henry will retire from the board once a new CEO has been appointed.
Thorburn acknowledged the bank had “sustained damage as a result of its past practices and comments in the royal commission’s final report” and recognised the “desire for change”.
Yesterday the bank also released its results for the quarter showing a 3 per cent drop in cash earnings to $1.65 billion.
They also plan to delay the public markets exit of wealth management company MLC until 2020 due to
the Hayne royal commission creating a challenging environment for wealth businesses.
