Financial Planning Association of Australia unveils CFP forum
The Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) has announced a new series of events and activities for Certified Financial Planner (CFP) professionals.
CFP Professional Connect, which will be exclusive to CFP professionals and those enrolled in the CFP certification programme, will provide a forum for attendees to share experiences, further develop expertise and network with fellow CFP professionals.
The first workshop will take place on Tuesday 22 November at the ICC Sydney – a day before the annual FPA Professional Congress – and is titled ‘It depends: Deconstructing the advice process’.
It will be led by Louise Biti, Kathryn Creasey, Shayne Sommer and Adam Crabbe, while being eligible for up to three hours of continuing professional development (CPD).
FPA chief executive officer, Sarah Abood, said: “The launch of the CFP Professional Connect programme complements the changes made to FPA memberships earlier this year.
“This is part of our commitment to provide more catered and customised services to each of our membership categories, to help ensure they get the most out of their membership.”
