It covers the financial planning process and its implementation, including familiarising students with the basics of superannuation, insurance, investments and estate planning. The unit also develops an understanding of the economic, political, social and legal environment and how this impacts upon the strategies put in place for clients. This unit is a very practical unit where theoretical concepts are illustrated by workplace and practical situations.
