Key Industry Sector - Financial Services
More information
Superior financial services are critical for growth
throughout Australia's industries and its economy as a whole. The Financial
Services Training Package (FNS04) contains skills standards that apply to
enterprises and individuals and to people working within the financial services
industry. The finance industry is a major driver of Australia's strong economy,
with more than $18 billion net flowing through the sector annually.
The
financial services industry has undergone considerable change in recent years
due to financial deregulation, globalisation, new technologies and the emergence
of new markets and new products. In some areas of the industry increasing
government regulation will heighten the need for relevant high quality staff
training and skill development in the years to come.
FNS04 is the
national Training Package which is recognised by industry, training and
financial regulators. It provides standards for vocational education and
training across a range of sectoral areas including:

Financial Services National Project Reference Groups and Project
Advisory Committees
National Project Reference Groups (NPRGs) and Project Advisory Committees
(PACs) are developed on a needs-basis and are responsible for providing advice
and feedback to IBSA around specific projects. These groups/committees
provide input to the development of project reports, units of competencies and
other deliverables, and promote the project and its outcomes to other relevant
stakeholders. Regular meetings provide a forum for targeted project guidance and
industry content expertise; enabling the exchange of ideas, identification of
issues, gathering of information, and the development of appropriate
solutions
