CFP Board Discloses Bankruptcies by CFP® Professionals

Rather, CFP Board verifies the bankruptcy and notes the bankruptcy filing on the CFP® professional's public profile, which is available through the search functions on CFP Board's website. CFP Board will also share with consumers and other stakeholders who contact CFP Board regarding a CFP® professional's certification status the information in the CFP® professional's public profile, including identifying whether the CFP® professional has filed bankruptcy. All disclosures regarding a bankruptcy filed by a CFP® professional will remain on CFP Board's website for 10 years from the earlier of the date the CFP® professional disclosed the bankruptcy to CFP Board or the date CFP Board became aware of the bankruptcy.
The public may review an individual's bankruptcy information and certification status with CFP Board at www.CFP.net/search.
