Financial Planning Skills BFA610
Hobart
Introduction
The purpose of this unit is to provide you with guidelines on how to communicate effectively with your clients and to ensure that you have the appropriate information from them to provide them with the best possible advice. This unit has been designed to provide you with suggested questions and formats for compliance to the current legislative requirements of “knowing your client” before you provide them with a detailed financial plan or statement of advice.
The object of this unit, therefore, is to assist you to gain the skills necessary to establish a harmonious rapport with your clients that will, in turn, build a lasting relationship.
