Brighter Super head of listed equities and ESG Fiona Mann was shaped by a childhood steeped in military-like discipline and global nomadism. Andrew McKean writes.
Another authority, another regulator, another cost and most of all a burden on the industry that will not add any benefit to the advice industry. Appointing academics to decide what courses will constitute a "suitable" course will lead to the same issues that have befallen those trying to achieve "recognised tax and commercial law courses for the TPB". Until the Government recognises that simply throwing hurdles in the way of the industry is not the best way to improve it. It should stop appointing the same old people to the decision making positions or the profession will never change. My 40+ years of experience will never be enough so I will be gone by 2024 as the thought of spending months getting useless qualifications that will never have a practical use doesn't interest me in the slightest.
