Florida Disciplined Financial Planners
The list below, taken from the CFP board disciplinary page of their website in SEPTEMBER 2021 , is the currently published record of Florida individuals who have been disciplined by CFP Board and does not imply that any listed discipline is currently in force. To verify an individual’s current certification status visit the CFP website here.
According to their website, the “Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Board is a non-profit organization acting in the public interest by fostering professional standards in personal financial planning through its setting and enforcement of the education, examination, experience, ethics and other requirements for CFP. “
The CFP Board can discipline those holding the CFP title in one of three ways:
- Public Letter of Admonition
- Temporary Suspension of CFP certification
- Revocation of individual’s CFP certification
