Responsibilities 600-1 Defining Monitoring Responsibilities See hand out In order to arrive at such a definition, the practitioner will need to explore the client's values, attitudes, expectations, and time horizons as they affect the client's goals, needs and priorities. Goals and objectives provide focus, purpose, vision and direction for the FP process. Clear and measurable objectives that are relevant to the scope of the engagement must be determined. The role of the practitioner is to facilitate the goal-setting process to clarify, with the client, goals and objectives. When appropriate, the practitioner shall try to assist clients in recognizing the implications of unrealistic goals and objectives. As goals, objectives, values, attitudes, expectations, etc. are subjective, the practitioner's interpretation is limited by what the client reveals. Prior to making recommendations, the FP practitioner must assess client's financial situation and determine the likelihood of reaching the stated objectives by continuing present activities. Planner will utilize client-specified, mutually agreed upon, and/or other reasonable assumptions. Both personal assumptions (such as: retirement age(s), life expectancy(ies), income needs, risk factors, time horizon, special needs) and economic assumptions (inflation, tax rates and investment returns) must be considered. Analysis and evaluation activities form the foundation for determining strengths
and weaknesses of the client's financial situation When presenting a recommendation, FP shall assist client in understanding current situation, recommendation, and its impact on ability to meet client's goals, needs and priorities. FP should avoid presenting opinion as fact. FP shall communicate the factors critical to the client's understanding of the recommendations: Personal and economic assumptions; Interdependence of recommendations; Advantages and disadvantages; Risks; and/or Time sensitivity. FP should indicate that while recommendations may meet client's goals, needs and priorities, changes in personal and economic conditions could alter the intended outcome. Changes may include: legislative, family status, career, investment performance and/or health. Conflicts of interest not previously disclosed and how they may impact the recommendations should be addressed at this time. FP can assess, at this time, whether the recommendations meet client expectations, whether the client is willing to act on the recommendations, and whether modifications are necessary. Client is responsible for accepting/rejecting recommendations & for retaining and/or delegating implementation responsibilities. FP & client shall mutually agree on services, if any, to be provided by FP. Scope of engagement, as originally defined, may need to be modified. FP's responsibilities may include, but are not limited to the following: Identifying implementation activities; Dividing activities between FP & client; Referring to other professionals; Coordinating with other professionals; Sharing of information as authorized; and Selecting & securing products and/or services. If there are conflicts of interest (compensation or material relationships) not previously disclosed, they shall be disclosed at this time. When referring client to other professionals or advisers, FP shall indicate basis on which FP believes other professional/adviser may be qualified. If FP is engaged by client to provide only implementation activities, scope of engagement shall be mutually defined, orally or in writing, in accordance with PS 100-1. This scope may include such matters as extent to which practitioner will rely on information, analysis or recommendations provided by others.
