FPA Conference to explore professional standards
Improving professionalism in the financial planning arena will be a key theme at this week's Financial Planning Association (FPA) Congress in Adelaide.
The annual conference, which runs from Wednesday, November 19 to Friday, November 21, has attracted the same number of delegates as last year's Sydney-based conference, the bulk of which are practising financial planners, according to FPA CEO Mark Rantall.
"The high professional standards of the delegates attending this year's Congress is testament to the quality and value of the program, which has been designed for planners, by planners," he said.
The conference will include a combination of technical workshops and discussions, centred around the theme of "inspiring greatness".
"In line with our aim of improving the skills and professionalism of financial planners, this year's Congress includes sessions designed to extend technical knowledge, as well as to help develop strategies and tools to serve clients better and run practices more efficiently," Rantall said.
Keynote speakers include Ray Martin AM, Ita Buttrose AO, OBE, Jihad Dib, Tara Moss and Andrew Denton.
