FPA and Griffith launch financial planning journal
Griffith Business School has joined hands with the Financial Planning Association (FPA) to create and publish Australia's first financial planning academic journal.
Titled ‘The Financial Planning Research Journal', the publication will come out in September and March, and will include six peer-reviewed academic articles encompassing the entire financial planning industry, with Griffith providing editorial material.
The move comes in a bid to present financial planning as an academic discipline, FPA chief executive, Mark Rantall, said.
"It is a direct response to what both academics and practitioners have recommended through the FPA Financial Planning Education Council," Rantall said.
Griffith Business School associate professor, Mark Brimble, said the journal comes at an important time for the industry, and can act as a tool for research around financial planning which can then influence debate and policy, and raise standards in the industry.
"Our involvement here reiterates our desire to ensure that academic research is brought to bear on the industry to positive and relevant effect," Brimble said.
A special edition of ‘The Financial Planning Research Journal' will release in conjunction with the FPA-sponsored annual Personal Finance and Investment Symposium, which will be hosted by Griffith's Centre for Personal Finance and Superannuation later this year.
