Course Overview

Financial Planning is a vital part of Financial Management. Planning is the first function of management. Before embarking on any venture, the company must have a plan.

Before initiating a new business, the organization puts an immense focus on the topic of Financial Planning. Financial planning is the plan needed for estimating the fund requirements of a business and determining the sources for the same. It essentially includes generating a financial blueprint for the company’s future activities.

This CPE Finance course will discuss the various definitions of financial planning. Financial planners and those interested in performing financial planning services will understand the legislative history of the profession. It includes regulations not only for tax purposes but for asset preservation, privacy, and planning to assist a client in a position to best protect their families.

In this online Continuing Education webinar, speaker Warren Bergstein will explore the ethical standards by which planners are expected to follow and observe in all of their work.

Key topics Covered: 

  • Financial Planning – What is it?
  • History of financial planning
  • Regulating the financial planning industry
  • Fiduciary standards
  • Ethical practices and violations
  • The future landscape of financial planning

This CPE course will prepare the audience for the next CPE courses in the series that explore the systematic process in a step approach, communication techniques needed to implement the initial plan to the client; as well as continuous monitoring of the plan.

The 1st Module: Overview Of Financial Planning – Definition, History, Regulations, And Ethics was a great refresher. At first, it seemed like 2 hours was a lot, but once the webinar started the information was valuable.
