## When to use it

Use when AFCA's complaint, particularly a financial-difficulty complaint, calls for the statement of financial position published on the AFCA forms page.

## Used for these tasks

- [Respond to an external dispute complaint for a financial firm](https://ailawframework.com/practice/financial-services-regulation/respond-to-an-external-dispute-complaint-for-a-financial-firm.md)
- [Take a staff account of the events for a complaint or dispute file](https://ailawframework.com/practice/financial-services-regulation/take-a-staff-account-of-the-events-for-a-complaint-or-dispute-file.md)

## How AI may be used

Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.

**AI may:**

- List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
- Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
- Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.

**AI must not:**

- Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
- Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
- Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit or other sworn evidence.
- Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Use the online form or the PDF the forms page lists, not a firm-drafted substitute, if AFCA has asked for its statement.
- The online link sits under financial difficulty. Do not assume every complaint needs it.
- Figures come from the client's documents.
- The make-a-complaint page has a separate financial-hardship section. Read that page before treating hardship as automatic.
