The manual will provide practitioners and licensees with information needed in the transition to the Financial Services Reform Act (FSRA).
FPA chief executive Ken Breakspear said the manual would enhance a financial planner’s ability to provide objective and professional financial planning advice.
“This is a living document that will be updated regularly to ensure that financial planning professionals stay up to date with the changing legislative environment. Importantly, it has the potential to save smaller financial planning firms time and money,” Breakspear says.
Areas covered by the manual will include the advising process, licensees’ responsibilities, training, handling complaints, dispute resolution, best practice standards and risk management.
The first edition of the FPA/CCH electronic compliance manual will be released on June 27.
