Member Misconduct and Enforcement

As an FSRA approved credentialing body and as an ISO accredited certification body, the Canadian Securities Institute investigates consumer complaints and other matters where a credential holder or designation holder may have failed to meet their respective Code of Ethics.

Allegations of a violation of any Code of Ethics are managed by the Designation Ethics Committee according to the CSI Ethical Misconduct Process. If the Committee determines a violation occurred, a disciplinary sanction is recommended.

CSI will update this page with any violations found against a credential holder or designation holder. In addition, CSI will update the Personal Financial Planner (PFP®) Directory and the Designated Financial Services Advisor (DFSA™) Directory on a members status, should it change.

If you have an issue that you would like to report, please provide details using the link below.
