The Financial Planning Association (FPA) has announced there will be an additional 122 financial planners accredited as Certified Financial Planners (CFP’s) following recent final examinations.
The CPF is accredited by the Financial Planning Standards Board.
FPA chief executive Jo-Anne Bloch said “these new graduands will join 118,000 CFP professionals in 23 countries around the world who have completed rigorous ethics, education, experience and examination requirements”.
The graduands came from various states, with NSW holding the highest number at 48, an FPA statement said.
It said 54 per cent of the new graduands are aged between 25 and 35.
The FPA recently released its Education Expectations Consultation paper, which called for all financial planners to be tertiary qualified as a minimum entry requirement. CFP professionals must have a tertiary qualification to complete the CFP program.
