WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) announced that it has imposed an interim suspension of the CFP® certification against Andrew D. Slocum, which was effective as of January 19, 2021.
On January 19, 2021, CFP Board issued an automatic interim suspension order suspending Andrew D. Slocum's right to use the CFP® certification marks. CFP Board imposed an automatic interim suspension after receiving evidence that Mr. Slocum was permanently barred by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) from association with any FINRA member in any capacities on August 24, 2020, wherein FINRA made findings that Mr. Slocum: (1) failed to respond to FINRA's May 21, 2020 and June 15, 2020 requests for the production of information and documents. FINRA determined that Mr. Slocum's failure to respond to FINRA's requests warranted a permanent bar under FINRA Rule 9552(h). Under the Automatic Interim Suspension Order, Mr. Slocum's right to use the CFP® certification marks is suspended pending CFP Board's completed investigation and possible further disciplinary proceedings.
