Two senior staffers at the Financial Planning Association (FPA) have resigned. GM Professional Standards Adrian Lucchese and Communications Manager Jason Spits have tendered their resignations, but neither will say exactly why.

Mr Spits, who has been with the FPA for more than a year, cited personal reasons for his departure. The former editor of industry publication The Financial Standard told Sunrise Exchange News he will spend some time with his young family before getting a new job.
