Weekend Reading For Financial Planners (July 25–26) 2026

CFP Board is seeking public comment on proposed changes that would allow its Disciplinary and Ethics Commission to consider expunged criminal convictions as a mitigating factor when evaluating CFP® certification applicants, particularly when a court's expungement reflects evidence of rehabilitation, good moral character, or a low risk of reoffending. The proposal aims to clarify how expunged convictions should be handled while balancing opportunities for rehabilitated individuals against consumer protection concerns.
