It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
I must state upfront that I am an ICAA member. This proposal shows a complete lack of understanding by the ICAA of the compliance responsibilities of being licensed. This goes back to the days when I first became a Financial Planner in 1987 which everyone was effectively having their own licence but via a licensed dealer.
Who is going to be responsible for advice given if every adviser has their own licence? How is this to be covered from a Professional Indemnity Insurance perspective?
Last time I checked, Accountants are not licensed to practice as accountants. They are granted Practicing Certificates from their relevant accounting body. Is the ICAA saying that every accountant in a practice holds a Tax Agents regsitration? I know that is not correct.
Come down off your ivory towers and talk to those who are actually involved in the Financial Planning Profession.
