Process for completing Exam criterion:

After completing the courseware, a candidate from either pathway, Regular or Challenge, goes
through a two-stage evaluation: the Financial Plan Assessment and the CFP® Exam. These can
be attempted in any order.

a. The Financial Plan Assessment

The Financial Plan Assessment exercise will prepare you to evaluate a fictitious client’s financial
situation, goals, needs and objectives; determine key areas that need to be addressed in a
written financial plan; identify what additional information is needed to develop a viable financial
plan; and develop strategies and recommendations and present them in writing in a manner
understandable to the client.

b. The CFP® Exam

The CFP® exam assesses the level of knowledge, skill and ability needed to practice financial
planning without supervision, as outlined in FPSB’s Financial Planner Competency Profile.
While each question on the CFP Exam focuses primarily on an element of competency from the
FPSB Financial Planner Competency Profile (Appendix A), questions on the exam may require
you to integrate across several financial planner competencies.

CFP® Exam Overview

• The CFP exam is three hours long
• The CFP exam consists of two sections:
o A section with a case study with 25 multiple choice questions based on the case
study

o A section consisting of 25 multiple choice questions on the financial planning

process and regulations
• The CFP exam is multiple-choice format; each question has four possible answers, one
of which is clearly the best choice
• The CFP exam is delivered via computer-based testing
• The online worksheet for financial calculations is available embedded in the exam portal,
both online and physical. Candidates are allowed as well to use permitted financial
calculators (once data is erased).
• Candidates cannot make use of pen and paper and the use of physical sheets during the
exam. They are encouraged to do all their work on the online embedded worksheets.

The 25 Case Study-based questions will be distributed almost equally, i.e. around 4 questions
from each of the six components of Financial Planning, viz. Risk Management and Insurance
Planning, Estate Planning, Investment Planning and Asset Management, Retirement Planning,
Tax Planning, and Personal Financial Management. Depending on the nature of case study
presented, a certain component may be asked more. It may be noted that integration can also
overlap two or more components, e.g. tax impacted investment or retirement, role of investment
in retirement, evaluation of estate or distributable net worth of a client, retirement funds flow and
estate planning, etc.

The questions which are based on Case Study will be under three functions – “Collection”,
“Analysis” and “Synthesis”. However, no differentiation shall be made in marks of questions
under these categories, All questions will be weighted 3 marks each. The Case Study-based
questions will require elaborate computation and integration aspects of Financial Planning.

A fair idea of these individual functions can be had from the chart below:

Collection: gathering information and identifying related facts by making required

calculations and arranging client information for analysis. During the collection function, the
core competency is to collect the quantitative information and qualitative information required
to provide a financial plan.

Analysis: considers issues, performs financial analysis and assesses the resulting
information to be able to develop strategies for the client. This includes: (1) considering
potential opportunities and constraints in developing strategies, and (2) assessing
information to develop strategies.

Synthesis: integrates the information needed to develop and evaluate strategies to create a
comprehensive financial plan.

Candidates will be at liberty to apply the total time allotted of 180 minutes between the two
sections – Case Study-based questions and Financial Planning Principles-based standalone
questions. It is not required that a candidate should qualify on each of these two sections to be
assessed as successful. Hence, these two sections are compensatory in earning marks, that is,
a shortfall in one section can be compensated for a superior performance in the other section.

Appendix D. FPSB Code of Ethics and Professional

Responsibility
FPSB CODE OF ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Observing the highest ethical and professional standards allows CFP professionals to serve the
interests of clients and promote the profession for the benefit of society. As part of their
commitment, CFP professionals should provide appropriate disclosures and comply with ethical
standards when delivering advice to clients. FPSB has incorporated ethical behavior and
judgment, and compliance with ethical standards, into its global standards for CFP
professionals. To ensure these obligations are understood, FPSB incorporates ethical standards
into its CFP certification requirements.

FPSB’s Code of Ethics Principles are statements expressing in general terms the ethical
standards that CFP professionals should adhere to in their professional activities. The
comments following each Principle further explain the intent of the Principle. The Principles are
aspirational and are intended to provide guidance for CFP professionals on appropriate and
acceptable professional behavior.

FPSB’s Code of Ethics Principles reflect CFP professionals’ recognition of their responsibilities
to clients, colleagues and employers. The Principles guide the performance and activities of
anyone involved in the practice of advice; the concept and intent of these Principles are adapted
and enforced on CFP professionals by FPSB through rules of professional conduct.

Principle 1 – Client First

Place the client’s interests first.
Placing the client’s interests first is a hallmark of professionalism, requiring the CFP professional
to act honestly and not place personal gain or advantage before the client’s interests.

Principle 2 – Integrity
Provide professional services with integrity.
Integrity requires honesty and candor in all professional matters. CFP professionals are placed
in positions of trust by clients, and the ultimate source of that trust is the professional’s personal
integrity. Allowance can be made for legitimate differences of opinion, but integrity cannot co-
exist with deceit or subordination of one’s principles. Integrity requires a CFP professional to
observe both the letter and the spirit of the Code of Ethics.

Principle 3 – Objectivity
Provide professional services objectively.
Objectivity requires intellectual honesty and impartiality. Regardless of the services delivered or
the capacity in which a CFP professional functions, objectivity requires that CFP professionals
ensure the integrity of their work, manage conflicts of interest and exercise sound professional
judgment.

Principle 4 – Fairness
Be fair and reasonable in all professional relationships. Disclose and manage conflicts of
interest.
Fairness requires providing clients what they are due, owed or should expect from a
professional relationship, and includes honesty and disclosure of material conflicts of interest.
Fairness involves managing one’s own feelings, prejudices and desires to achieve a proper

balance of interests. Fairness is treating others in the same manner that you would want to be
treated.

Principle 5 – Professionalism
Act in a manner that demonstrates exemplary professional conduct.
Professionalism requires behaving with dignity and showing respect and courtesy to clients,
fellow professionals, and others in business-related activities, and complying with appropriate
rules, regulations and professional requirements. Professionalism requires CFP professional,
individually and in cooperation with peers, to enhance and maintain the profession’s public
image and its ability to serve the public interest.

Principle 6 – Competence
Maintain the abilities, skills and knowledge necessary to provide professional services
competently.
Competence requires obtaining and maintaining an adequate level of abilities, skills and
knowledge in the provision of professional services. Competence also includes the wisdom to
recognize one’s own limitations and when consultation with other professionals is appropriate or
referral to other professionals necessary. Competence requires the CFP professional to make a
continuing commitment to learning and professional improvement.

Principle 7 – Confidentiality
Protect the confidentiality of all client information.
Confidentiality requires that client information be protected and maintained in such a manner
that allows access only to those who are authorized. A relationship of trust and confidence with
the client can only be built on the understanding that the client’s information will not be disclosed
inappropriately.

Principle 8 – Diligence
Provide professional services diligently.
Diligence requires fulfilling professional commitments in a timely and thorough manner and
taking due care in delivering professional services.

legacy pathway and who have one or more credits to the Specialist exams of the new
pathway curriculum?
FPSB provided to all legacy candidates a transitioning mechanism whereby they can
have their already passed legacy exams considered for credit in the new program and
pass the remaining in their drive to attain CFP Certification. This transition was
applicable up to 31st Dec, 2021. Those who have not availed of this offer, can register in
the new program afresh to pass all the exams. Those candidates who have passed all
legacy exams including Exam 5: Advanced Financial Planning, and have lapsed five
years since their having passed the said Exam 5, can enroll in the Challenge Pathway of
the new program to attempt again Financial Plan Assessment and CFP® Exam thus
getting exemption from passing the three Specialist exams.

Step 2: CFP® Exam

5. How is the CFP® exam created?
CFPCM professionals in India and internationally created cases that simulate common
financial planning practices. These cases and the exam questions have been reviewed
by multiple professionals in India before being placed into the India exam bank. The
subjects covered and their weightings are based on the exam specification that was
developed by the FPSB exam panel in India (supported by FPSB’s global exam
experts).
6. When can I take the CFP® exam?
Candidates may sign up to take the CFP® exam only after they have been declared
successful in the Financial Plan Assessment. FPSB publishes an Exam Calendar on
website for the continuing 3-month period. The first five calendar days in a month are for
exam registration. One can pay exam fee within this enrolment window to be eligible for
the CFP® Exam scheduled mostly on a Monday that occurs within the exam window
(from the 19th calendar day to the 25th calendar day) in the same month. The tests are
conducted in online-proctored system as well in-person at test centers. In online mode, a
candidate can take the test at own device (webcam-enabled Desktop or laptop) from
anywhere. The in-person exams are available at designated NSE test centers across

India. Please be thorough on the exam conduct policies for online and in-person
examination before you opt for a test mode.
7. What resources may be available to study for the CFP exam?
FPSB encourages candidates to study the learning objectives and
knowledge items in the Financial Planner Competency Profile; the CFP exam blueprint;
and the practice questions in MyFPSBlearning.
8. When will I know my score on the CFP exam?
To ensure exam reliability and validity, FPSB will analyze the data from initial CFP
exams takers to determine a statistically valid and defensible passing score. This
process could delay results by few weeks. After the CFP exam pass score is set, future
exam-takers will know their results within 15 days.
9. Is there a limit to the number of times I may take the CFP exam?
There is no limit to the number of times you may take the CFP exam, but you may only
take the exam during the exam window provided.

Step 3: Experience

10. Which internship, articleship or part time jobs are considered as a valid work
experience for the CFP Certification?
Presently FPSB considers the articleship of Chartered Accountancy (CA) as valid work
experience. For other work domains, candidates are required to have their work
experience in one of the categories prescribed in the Experience guidelines. Please note
that FPSB does not accept part-time or freelance work experience as valid for CFP
Certification work experience.
11. What work domains are considered under ‘Financial Planning services’ and ‘Other
Financial services’ for work experience criteria?
Financial Planning Services - Any one of the six Financial Planning components (viz.
Risk Management and Insurance Planning, Estate Planning and Wealth Management,
Retirement Planning, Investment Planning and Asset Management, Personal Tax
Optimization, Personal Financial Management)
Other Financial Services - Accounting including Fund Accounting in collective
investment schemes and Audit, other organized Financial Consulting, Intermediation in
securities, Financial/Investment Products, Stock broking and trading services,
Journalism in Personal Finance and Corporate Finance. For persons employed with
banks, mutual funds insurance and Fintech companies, the experience relevant to
personal finance may be considered as valid.
12. How can the professionals such as doctors, lawyers, engineers etc. meet the work
experience criteria?
All professionals also have the option of meeting FPSB’s work experience requirement
for CFP certification through work as an authorised distributor/agent of a financial
services firm/company. FPSB reserves the right to accept or reject work experience as
valid based on inspection of the documents furnished by the candidate in support of his
or her work experience.

Step 4: Ethics
13. What are steps to complete the Ethics course?
FPSB provides an online, interactive ethics course in the MyFPSBlearning online portal.
You can go through the course at your own pace and complete the assessment
questions.

Initial and Ongoing Certification

14. How long does the process take?

This depends on the individual and different factors such as industry experience, time to
prepare, familiarity and ability to do well on exams (in general), and the extent of
studying before the CFP exam.
15. How long is CFP certification valid for?
CFP certification is valid for one year. An individual may renew CFP certification after
completing the 15 annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points and
completing the other renewal requirements in the FPSB online platform.
16. If I pass the CFP exam, may I use the marks?
No, you must meet all certification requirements, including attesting to FPSB’s Code of
Ethics and Professional Responsibility, Financial Planning Practice Standards and
Conduct Rules and CFP Marks Use Rules before using the CFP marks.

Other Questions
17. I registered before 1 June 2020. I would like to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL
PLANNERCM professional. How may I do that?
FPSB provided a transition mechanism from April 2021 until 31 December 2021 for
those who registered prior to 1 June 2020. Transition recognized individual exams
cleared in the old curriculum and allowed to complete remaining specialist certifications
and FPSB® Integrated Financial Planning course in the new program. One who has not
availed this transition can register afresh in the CFP Certification Program and pass all
Specialist exams and FPSB® Integrated Financial Planning course.
