RFP Module 1 - Financial Planning Fundamentals and the Planning Process

Module 1 is the foundation module of the RFP programme. It tests whether you can run a planning engagement end to end: the six-step process, the professional standard of care that governs it, and the basic arithmetic that turns a client's wish into a funded goal. Questions at this level are rarely about which product to buy; they are about sequencing, scope, disclosure and documentation. Establish and define the relationship - agree the scope of work, the fee basis, each party's responsibilities, and how long the engagement runs.
