Advice NI - Wiseradviser: Debt and Pensions

This course focuses on pensions and their relevance to debt advice. Recent changes to pensions, including auto-enrolment and pension freedoms, mean that it's more likely that you will increasingly need to consider your clients' pensions as part of your debt advice. It's important that you understand the limits of the advice you can give within FCA regulations. This course will help you to keep within the regulations whilst providing helpful and appropriate advice and guidance.
