The Financial Planning Association (FPA) has appointed Dale Boucher as Chairman of its Conduct Review Commission, after Graham McDonald stepped down for family reasons.

Mr McDonald will remain a member as Deputy Chairman.

The commission’s tribunal hears disciplinary complaints against FPA members.

Mr Boucher moves up from deputy chairman. His position includes the role of independent code administrator for the FPA’s Professional Ongoing Fees Code.

“The FPA’s Code of Professional Conduct continues to play an important part in holding members accountable for misconduct, and provides significant benefits for consumer protection,” FPA Chairman Marisa Broome said.
