FPA MI | Achieve our 2023 IAR CE requirements with the two-day virtual COMPLY workshop
Tuesday, June 27th and Wednesday, June 28th | 8:45 am to 4:30 pm EST | Virtual

On November 24, 2020, North American Securities Administration Association (NASAA) members elected to adopt an investment adviser representative (IAR) continuing education requirement (CE) with the goal of ensuring that advisers receive proper and updated training on the securities business relevant to their duties and obligations. In order to meet the demand for the annual IAR CE requirement, several FPA chapters and COMPLY are launching the first annual IAR Continuing Education Workshop.

Over the course of two days, COMPLY’s compliance experts will deliver the 12-credit IAR Continuing Education program virtually to FPA members and non-members.
