The directors of the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. have approved amendments to the group’s rules and procedures that permanently allow in-person hearings to be conducted via video conference. The amendments became effective last Friday.

But “given the social distancing and other health and safety guidelines issued for the Covid-19 pandemic, it is not feasible to conduct in-person hearings with all participants in one location,” the CFP Board said in a release, citing that as the reason to permanently allow in-person video conference hearings.
