In this episode of The ifa Show, host Keith Ford is joined by the chief executive of WT Financial Group, Keith Cullen, to break down the government’s adviser education reform announcement, and why the profession needs to be pragmatic about the pathways to bring in new advisers. Cullen explains why he sees opening up financial advice to a wider range of degrees is vital, and the importance of maintaining the appropriate additional requirements, such as completing the adviser exam, professional year, and CPD training.

Listen as they discuss:

• What advisers can expect from the upcoming federal election.
• How the next tranche of DBFO is tracking and the measures it needs to get right.
• Why the government needs to stop its constant meddling in the super system.
