NSW practice joins cream of the crop
One of MLC’s Garvan Financial Planning licensees has become the first New South Wales business to be awarded the five ticks of SAI Global’s Quality Endorsed Company program for excellence in the provision of financial advice.
The business, Finance Control, was independently assessed and showed the highest standards in customer communications, risk management, internal processes and service delivery.
The financial advice firm is the second in Australia to achieve the five ticks, which represent Financial Planning 9000 accreditation, the specially developed financial planning version of the internationally recognised quality management system ISO 9001.
MLC participated in the development of SAI Global’s program and has been given 12 months exclusive access, which ends in September.
