New thinking for a new profession


Governed by Principles of Practice

AFA Awards for Excellence

 

We believe that recognising excellence is integral to building a strong profession. Each year the AFA, together with our partners, announce five prestigious awards for quality advice and an award for Life Company of the Year.
