Massey University screened the entries and provided a list of finalists. The finalists were then interviewed with a judging panel. The judges this year were; Diana Crossan (Retirement Commissioner), Donal Curtin (Managing Director Economics NZ) and Rob Stock (financial journalist, money columnist for the Sunday Star Times). The judges noted the high quality of the financial plans presented by the finalists. They also said it was good to see that best practice procedures were being introduced to their businesses. Financial planners who enter the awards are judged on a number of criteria including:
- They must be a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and have been practicing for a minimum of five years - Alison holds both a CFP and a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and has been in the financial services industry for 21 years. Alison was also a finalist for the NZ Financial Planner of the Year Awards in 2002 and 2003.
