Description
The National Association of Independent Public Finance Advisors (NAIPFA) is a professional organization limited to firms that specialize in providing financial advice on bond sales and financial planning on public projects of public agencies. NAIPFA member firms must be completely independent of the underwriting of municipal securities by banks and securities dealers. Member firms must also be structured such that financial advice is not incidental to any other service.
Purpose
The purpose of the Association is to promote the common interests of independent advisory firm members. Initially, efforts will build credibility and recognition by implementing a public relations and marketing plan to champion the professional, independent image of the member firms.
The Association will speak to those issues of common interest to its membership which can best be addressed by a third party, and will seek to improve our effectiveness in influencing legislative matters of interest to our industry and clients.
Goals
The Association will seek to unify the member firms to develop and promote rigid ethical and professional standards for firms and their employees, to review compliance with those standards, to provide educational materials describing the role of the independent advisor and to respond to legislative needs on behalf of the member firms and the public agencies they serve. |
