Abstract
Based on a relatively small survey of 78 financial planners and their attitudes to professionalism, our research indicates that financial planning, as practised today in Australia, remains an industry rather than a profession. Using a set of attributes of professionalism derived from the literature, the results from the attitude statements provided by the respondents failed to achieve a satisfactory level of professionalism for any of these attributes.
