CBA long-serving chief to retire by next June
Ian Narev will be gone by the end of the current financial year after almost seven years on the job; chairwoman says departure has nothing to do with latest scandal

Mr Narev, 50, would be gone by the end of the current financial year after almost seven years in the job, a tenure marked as much by record profits as allegations of serious misconduct including insurance scams and poor financial advice.
