TAL's financial adviser education platform, TAL Risk Academy, will deliver a learning program focusing on the Financial Planners and Advisers Code of Ethics.
The program, called Ethics Month, includes four webinars on understanding the Code of Ethics and how it applies in delivering high-quality advice for clients. The courses will count towards advisers' CPD requirements.
Beau Riley, general manager, retail sales, and new business at TAL, said the program – to be launched in May – aims to help advisers comply with the Code of Ethics and understand it.
“This series will offer insights and tools which can be applied in practical, real-world scenarios, giving all participants the opportunity to develop their critical thinking, decision-making, and communication skills to better serve their clients,” Riley said.
The four live webinars will cover the latest industry requirements and obligations, Riley said.
“The courses have been developed to give advisers access to our technical team's expertise and insights around how to navigate and comply with the Code of Ethics, ensuring the best outcomes for clients,” Riley said.
TAL Risk Academy also offers an interactive workshop, facilitated by TAL national technical manager David Glen. The workshop was developed for Professional Year new entrants to complement the new series and will explore real client scenarios and consider how the Code of Ethics would apply through a live discussion with participants.
TAL Risk Academy also introduced 20 new courses this year, which makes a total of over 110 on-demand courses available on the adviser education platform.
