ASIC has cancelled the Australian financial services (AFS) licence of Old Cold Gold Pty Ltd (Old Cold Gold).

Further, Old Cold Gold failed to lodge the profit and loss statement and balance sheet for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
The cancellation took effect on 4 August 2022.
Under the Corporations Act, ASIC may suspend or cancel an AFS licence if a licensee fails to meet its general obligations under s912A. This includes the obligation to hold membership of a dispute resolution system and lodge financial statements annually with ASIC.
Old Cold Gold may apply to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for a review of ASIC's decision.
