FINANCIAL PLANNING STANDARDS BOARD MARKS 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH SPECIAL REPORT HIGHLIGHTING THE FINANCIAL PLANNING PROFESSION
DENVER – 3 December 2014 – Celebrating its 10-year anniversary on 1 December 2014, Financial Planning Standards Board Ltd. (FPSB), owner of the international CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER certification program outside the United States, released a special-edition stakeholder report to commemorate the event, entitled “Financial Planning: Building the Global Profession.” This report showcases the global professional standards-setting body’s accomplishments in support of its vision – to establish financial planning as a global profession, with the CFP marks as its symbol of excellence.
“From the beginning, FPSB has benefited from a dedicated group of individuals and financial planning organizations around the world who saw the need for a global body to establish financial planning as a distinct professional practice,” said Noel Maye, FPSB’s founding CEO. “Over the years, both our network and our sphere of influence have grown, and we’re proud to have reached our 10-year anniversary with such global recognition for CFP certification from practitioners, financial services firms, regulators and consumers supporting competent, ethical financial planners who will place their interests first.”
This report is available electronically in the “Resources” section of fpsb.org. “Financial Planning: Building the Global Profession,” explains FPSB’s global “LASER” strategy, focusing on Leadership, Awareness, Standards, Engagement and Recognition, and emphasizes FPSB’s successes over the past decade and what success looks like beyond the first 10 years through a strategic lens.
“I’m grateful to all of our Members, volunteers and staff who have worked so hard to get FPSB to where it is today. I know in my heart that, in 2025, financial planning will be a recognized profession according to our vision, and together, we will have built a profession that will benefit the public for generations to come,” said Steve Helmich, FPSB Board chairperson.
