The CISI, the professional body which runs the Certified Financial Planner qualification, says it will consider compensating victims of the cyber attack its website suffered recently.

On 2 April, I celebrated my 72nd birthday. It was a joyful day with my wife and daughters spent at our rustic New England home overlooking a pond. 

The number of Certified Financial Planner professionals around the world at the end of 2019 was up 3.7% on a year earlier to a record 188,104.

It’s been quite a year for me in my quest to apply life planning technology to civilisation.
