    CoFR Consumer Vulnerability Framework April 2021

    FAP licences Classes of financial advice service

    Licence classes apply to the manner in which regulated financial advice may be provided but do not limit the types of financial advice that may be provided under the licence, as the latter is addressed by the competency requirements in the Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services.
