The Financial Planning Association of Australia's (FPA) former general manager of policy and conduct, Dante De Gori, has officially taken the reins from Mark Rantall as chief executive of the FPA.

De Gori looked after policy at the FPA from 2010 and represented the association through key reforms including the Future of Financial Advice (FOFA), raising of education and professional standards, and the enshrinement of the term financial planner into law, due on 1 July.

Commenting on the new role, De Gori said he expected it to be business as usual at the FPA.

"The year ahead will undoubtedly bring regulatory challenges, particularly around the implementation and transition process of the new education requirements," he said.

"I am very aware of the concerns our members have about current proposals. The FPA will continue to work closely with Government, to ensure that collectively, our voice is heard."

He said the FPA would support members through the changes with updates, resources, events such as national roadshows, webinars, and social media.

Rantall, who was chief executive since 2010, will remain on the FPA Board as a non-executive director.

The FPA has also appointed Benjamin Mashan as manager of professional standards and advocacy, and Dimitri Diamantes as policy manager.
