The paper titled "My Final Exam," addresses the regulatory issues facing the financial planning profession. Describing his last compliance exam before retirement, Moisand discusses the current state of financial planning and how it may be in the future.

"Being on the front lines of compliance issues for sometime, I was looking for a way to generate dialogue within the profession on how to build a better regulatory structure," says Moisand. "By communicating my thoughts through this paper, I hope to inspire other financial planners to join together to create a better system."

Moisand's paper, "Urge to Merge: Insights from a Sole Practitioner's Search for Partners," was published by the Journal of Financial Planning after winning the Call for Papers competition in 2002.

Moisand has over 14 years experience in asset management and financial planning and has been named one of the 250 Best Financial Advisors in the country by Worth magazine and among America's Top Practitioners in the JK Lasser tax book, New Rules for Estate and Tax Planning.
