We will need to continue in ensuring orderly practice and risk management to support the expanded services, professional standards are being harmonized by all financial planning to build a strong foundation in best practices both at the firm and individual level and manage risk better.
This Resolution is expected to further streamline and complement the strategic direction of FPAM. The proposed resolution will outline the parameters of the Board and Secretariat activities in accordance with FPAM’s sustainability goals and growth objectives. We are introducing Clause 8.7-8.13 to be further enhanced by the following 3 more defined pillars.

All this is necessary as we move into the next phase of growth in our industry and to be inline with regulators and industry stakeholders. This is expected to create better focus and better opportunities for participation amongst our members. Also, it will have clearer key deliverables within each workgroup which are supported by the Secretariat.
