Darlene Hart Featured in CIFA Video
Another successful partnership for USTAXFS – This time with CIFA, the Convention of Independent Financial Advisors (a non-profit organisation), and our CEO Darlene Hart at their XIVth International CIFA Forum in Monaco. The topic of this year’s conference was Excessive regulation: Is it really intended to guarantee entrepreneurial freedom and property? A journalist at the event spoke with Darlene on the importance of Knowing Your Client (KYC).
Joined by government officials, members of the Swiss Parliament and other leading industry executives, Darlene’s panel of financial experts discussed the responsibility and importance of collecting detailed information on clients, as well as what is driving the current war on tax evasion. Darlene also spoke on panels about the impact on the consumer by “Regulatory Suitability” and the discussion about where the planning responsibility lies for pensions – with the government or with the individual.
