Toronto, Canada, July 02, 2015 --(PR.com)-- PlanPlus is leading a team of Canadian and international research, legal and practice area experts to review current practices by firms in Canada; an academic literature review; a global regulatory review and more.
PlanPlus will review current Canadian firm practices under terms of confidentiality that ensure that no firms or individuals will be identified in public reports or research communications. IAP members and OSC staff will not have access to firm or individual–specific information provided to PlanPlus in the course of this research project. PlanPlus Inc.’s report and recommendations will be made public in the Fall 2015.
“To complete the research on current practices in Canada we need feedback from licensed MFDA and IIROC firms,” said Shawn Brayman, President and CEO of PlanPlus and leader of the project. “If you represent an interested firm we hope you will respond positively if we reach out to you. There is a short survey all firms are encourage to complete and a more detailed analysis of randomly selected firms.”
