Interpretations of the standard may be issued by the PFP EC as guidance to assist inunderstanding and applying the standard. The PFP EC interpretations are recommendations on theapplication of the standard. The standard and its interpretations are intended to complement other laws,regulations, and professional standards of PFP practice.The standard is written in as simple and objective a manner as possible. However, by their nature,practice standards provide for an appropriate range of behaviors and need to be interpreted to address abroad range of personal and professional situations. Accordingly, enforcement of these rules, as part ofthe AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct “General Standards Rules” (AICPA, Professional Standards, ETsec. 1.300.001 and 2.300.001), and “Compliance with Standards Rules” (AICPA, Professional Standards,ET sec. 1.310.001 and 2.310.001) as well as paragraphs .02-.05 of the “Application of the AICPA Code”(AICPA, Professional Standards, and ET sec. 0.200.020), will be undertaken on a case-by-case basis.1.2Per AICPA Bylaw Section 360R, Implementing Resolutions Under Section 3.6 Committees, the Personal Financial Planning ExecutiveCommittee (PFP EC) is an AICPA senior committee. The PFP EC is designated as a body that may promulgate technical standards under“General Standards Rules” (AICPA, Professional Standards, ET sec. 1.300.001 and 2.300.001)and “Compliance with Standards Rules” (AICPA,Professional Standards, ET sec.1.310.001 and 2.310.001).

RequirementsGeneral professional responsibilities13. The member should read the entire standard,including its application and other explanatorymaterial, to understand its objective and applyits requirements properly.14. The proper application of the requirementsestablished by the standard is expected toprovide a sufficient basis for the achievement ofthe objective. However, because circumstancesvary widely and all such circumstances cannotbe anticipated, the member should considerwhether, due to the existence of particularmatters or circumstances, procedures inaddition to those required by the standard areneeded to meet the stated objective.16. The member should consider applicableinterpretive publications when providingPFP services. (Ref: par. A5)Independence and PFP services17. If PFP services are performed for a client forwhich the member or member’s firm alsoperforms an “attest engagement” (AICPA,Professional Standards, ET sec. 0.400.04),the member should meet the requirementsof the “Nonattest Services” subtopic (AICPA,Professional Standards, ET sec. 1.295) underthe “Independence Rule” (AICPA, ProfessionalStandards, ET sec. 1.200.001), so as not to impairthe member’s independence with respect tothe client.15. The member must comply with eachrequirement of the standard unless,a.in the circumstances of the engagement,the requirement is not relevant becauseit is conditional, and the condition doesnot exist.b.the member judges it necessary to departfrom a requirement. In such circumstances,the member should perform alternativeprocedures to achieve the intent of thatrequirement and document the justificationfor that departure.5

Responsibilities of members in PFP engagements18. The member should comply with relevant ethical requirements. (Ref: par. A7)19. The member should possess a level of knowledge of PFP principles and theory, and a level of skill in theapplication of such principles, that will enable him or her to (Ref: par. A8)a.Identify client goals and objectives;b.Gather and analyze relevant information;c.Consider and apply appropriate planning approaches and methods; andd.Use professional judgment when developing financial recommendations.20. The member should evaluate whether any conflicts of interest exist with regard to the engagement as follows:(Ref: par. A9-A10)a.If the member determines conflicts of interest exist, the member should determine whether theengagement can be performed objectively.b.If the member determines the engagement can be performed objectively, the member should disclose allknown conflicts of interest and obtain consent as required under the “Conflicts of Interest” interpretations(AICPA, Professional Standards, ET sec. 1.110.010 and 2.110.010) under the “Integrity and Objectivity Rule”(AICPA, Professional Standards, ET sec. 1.100.001 and 2.100.001).c.If the member determines that the engagement cannot be performed objectively, the engagement shouldbe terminated.21. The member should comply with applicable federal, state, and other laws and regulations. The membershould comply with professional standards applicable to the PFP engagement unless superseded by laws orregulations. When there is a conflict between the standard and laws or regulations, the laws or regulations willprevail unless less stringent than the standard. (Ref: par. A11-A12)22. Prior to beginning the engagement, and throughout the engagement as circumstances dictate, the membershould disclose in writing all compensation the member and the member’s firm or affiliates will receive forservices rendered or products sold (Ref: par.

Application materialScopeA1.The “Compliance with Standards Rules” (AICPA, Professional Standards, ET sec. 1.310.001 and 2.310.001)requires an AICPA member who performs a PFP engagement to comply with standards promulgated by thePersonal Financial Planning Executive Committee (PFP EC). The PFP EC develops and issues standards inthe form of statements through a process that includes deliberation in meetings open to the public, publicexposure of statements, and a formal vote. The standards are codified in AICPA Professional Standards.(Ref: par. 2)Applicability (Ref: par. 3-5)A2.If any of the activities listed in paragraph 3 are provided as part of a PFP engagement, the activity is coveredby the standard and should be considered in conjunction with the requirements set forth in the “Applicability”section (Ref: par. 4). In addition, depending on the nature of the service, other standards may apply (Ref: par.5). For example, any personal income tax services provided as part of a PFP engagement are covered by thestandard and are subject to the SSTSs.A3.Examples of activities not covered by the standard include the following: (Ref: par. 3-5)a.Tax advice: Advising a client regarding his or her income tax matters or gift and estate tax matterswhen PFP services as defined in paragraph 3 are not provided. These services are, however, subjectto the SSTSs.b.Valuation services: Any engagement that would be considered a valuation service under SSVS No. 1when PFP services as defined in paragraph 3 are not provided. These services are, however, subjectto SSVS No. 1.c.Business succession planningd.e.i.Planning to prepare for a vacancy in a key position resulting from a sudden departure, disability, ordeath and no advice is given to an individual.ii.Planning to prepare for the sale to another firm and no advice is given to an individual.Educational discussions or presentations covering PFPi.A workshop presented to a group of company employees on a PFP activity (Ref: par. 3) that does notinclude personalized recommendations.ii.A discussion with an individual that covers one or more PFP activities (Ref: par. 3) that does not resultin a personalized recommendation.Mechanical computationsi.Computation of the current income tax deduction for a client’s contribution of assets to a charitableremainder trust.ii.Computation of the current yield on a client’s investment portfolio.iii. Computation of the gift tax on a transfer of an asset.11

A4. A member may identify and create an analysis of historical spending and income activity for a client as a purelymechanical computation, which would not be considered PFP services. However, extension of this analysisto future periods based on the judgment of the member that entails the use of assumptions and personalizedrecommendations regarding investing would be considered PFP services.General professional responsibilitiesA5. Interpretive publications are not standards on PFP practice. Interpretive publications are recommendationson the application of the standard in specific circumstances. An interpretive publication is issued underthe authority of the PFP EC after all members have been provided an opportunity to consider and comment onwhether the interpretive publication is consistent with the standard. (Ref: par. 16)Responsibilities of members in PFP engagements (Ref: par. 18-23)A6. The member is required to comply with the “Commissions and Referral Fees Rule” (AICPA, ProfessionalStandards, ET sec. 1.520.001). (Ref: par. 22)A7. The member is subject to relevant ethical requirements relating to PFP engagements (Ref: par. 18). Ethicalrequirements consist of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, rules of state boards of accountancy fromwhich the member holds a license, and applicable regulatory agencies that are more stringent. The AICPACode of Professional Conduct establishes the fundamental principles of professional ethics, which includethe following:a. Responsibilitiesb. The public interestc. Integrityd. Objectivity and independencee. Due caref. Scope and nature of servicesA8. The “General Standards Rules” (AICPA, Professional Standards, ET sec. 1.300.001 and 2.300.001) explainsthat professional competence means that a member shall “undertake only those professional services that themember or the member’s firm can reasonably expect to be completed with professional competence.”(Ref: par. 19)A9. The “Objectivity and Independence Principle” (AICPA, Professional Standards, ET sec. 0.300.050) states thatobjectivity is a state of mind. The principle of objectivity imposes the obligation to be impartial, intellectuallyhonest, and free from conflicts of interest. (Ref: par. 20)A10. The member is required to comply with AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct “Conflicts of Interest”interpretations (AICPA, Professional Standards, ET sec. 1.110.010 and 2.110.010). (Ref: par. 20)12

A11.Laws, regulations, and professional standards applicable to engagements to perform PFP services include,but are not necessarily limited to, the following: (Ref: par. 21, A5)a.Investment Advisers Act of 1940; see Securities and Exchange Commission Interpretive Release IA-1092b.Treasury Department Circular No. 230c.State boards of accountancyd.AICPA Code of Professional Conducte.Statements on Standards for Tax Services (SSTSs)f.Statement on Standards for Valuation Services (SSVS) No. 1g.Statement on Standards for Consulting Services No. 1h.Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARS) No. 6i.Maintaining adequate data protection safeguards regarding a client’s nonpublic personal informationj.Maintaining client confidentiality in accordance with the applicable rules of professional conduct andfederal and state laws and regulationsA12. Compliance with the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct depends primarily on the member’sunderstanding and voluntary actions, secondarily on reinforcement by peers and public opinion, andultimately on disciplinary proceedings, when necessary, against members who fail to comply with therules. (Ref: par. 21)A13. The member is not required to follow a standard format when communicating or documentingcommunication.Planning the engagement (Ref: par. 24-27)A14. An understanding of the client may include understanding matters such as the client’s family situation,commitment to the planning process, current cash flow and assets available, personal preferences, andrelationships with other professionals. This understanding may be obtained through comprehensiveinformation gathering or may result from knowledge gained during a long-term relationship with the client.A15.Additional services that require understanding and agreement by the client include the following:a.Implementing plan recommendationsb.Monitoring the client's progress in achieving goalsc.Updating recommendations13

Developing and communicating recommendations (Ref: par. 32-35)A16. Developing a reasonable basis for recommendations involves the following (Ref: par. 29):a.Collecting relevant quantitative and qualitative information. The nature and amount of information willdepend on the scope and complexity of the engagement. This information may include, but is notlimited toi.the client’s goals, existing financial situation, and available resources;ii.nonfinancial factors, such as client attitudes, r
