The Chartered Insurance Institute has launched a Professional Map competency framework to help insurance and personal finance professionals develop their careers. 

The Queen has approved a recommendation by the Privy Council that the CISI can use the designation Chartered Fellow (Financial Planning) for all members that have gained its Certified Financial Planner accreditation.

The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has made three new appointments to the Professional Standards Committee.

The perception of Financial Planning as "dry, dusty and all about selling people things they may not really need" needs to be changed to attract more young people into the profession and help it thrive, an IFP director says.
