This subject draws upon a range of disciplines and culminates in the preparation of a Statement of Advice for a client. The practice of financial planning requires understanding of regulation and the application of business management principles and techniques. The first aspect of this subject requires the application of these skills in the preparation, presentation, implementation and review of a personal financial plan for a client. The second aspect of the subject focuses on financial planning practice management and aims to ensure students are aware of many of the practical issues that will confront them in the financial planning industry. You will also identify and discuss the principal customer service issues associated with the management of a financial planning practice.
This course includes a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
