Content
This unit is the capstone unit of the financial planning major. It specifically builds on financial planning concepts developed in earlier units of the course in earlier financial planning units to generate more advanced strategic solutions for clients and the generation of a Statement of Advice. The assessment for this unit requires the preparation of a comprehensive, client-focused financial plan or Statement of Advice using financial planning software - XPLAN. In the first few topics we review the process of developing client strategies and a Statement of Advice and the legislative requirements that govern the financial planning process. In subsequent topics we review the content and techniques of a range of functional areas within financial planning with a view to using these techniques to strategically improve the financial position of clients.
