FAAA ACT Chapter Professional Development Event - 'Just because you can'

Overview
Join the FAAA ACT Chapter Committee for a thought‑provoking, facilitated discussion on ethical decision‑making in financial advice, on Wednesday 15 July.
This interactive session explores how the Code of Ethics extends beyond compliance, requiring ongoing professional judgement and deliberate decision‑making in practice.
Hear from guest speaker, Gordon McNaught, Business Development Manager (Advice), CareSuper.
Using realistic and increasingly complex advice scenarios, we will examine how context, competing duties, commercial pressures and client behaviour influence ethical outcomes. Attendees will be encouraged to navigate ambiguity, challenge assumptions, and reflect on their broader responsibilities to clients, colleagues and the profession.
At its core, this session reinforces that ethical practice often means pausing, questioning convenience, and having the professional courage to say “no” — even when something may be legally permissible.
CPD hours will be offered for this event.
We look forward to seeing you there!
