Elder financial abuse (or Financial Abuse of the Vulnerable Older Person)

BFSO Bulletin 56 (pdf) contains some excellent resources on elder financial abuse focussing on the role that banks and other financial institutions can play.

The purpose of the Bulletin is to provide information about financial abuse and how to identify it - to assist in raising awareness of the issue and to highlight some warning signs - and to put that information in the context of the interaction between banks and other financial institutions and their older customers.

It draws on the findings of Older People and the Law, a Report of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs following its Inquiry into Older People and the Law.
