National Australia Bank has advised that its cash earnings for the second half of 2018-19 will fall by about $1.23bn, while its full-year net profit will fall by $1.18bn. This has been attributed to an additional after-tax charge of $832m for its customer remediation program, as well as a change to its software capitalisation policy. NAB’s total provisions for customer remediation in the wake of the fees-for-no-service scandal has now topped $2bn. NAB will release its full-year results on 7 November.
