A financial adviser is a person that advises another on the most favourable strategy or method of investing his/her funds, bearing in mind age, finances, responsibilities, health, etc. A financial adviser can be independent, that is he/she will suggest the most favourable products from any source, or be tied to a financial institution, bank, insurance company, etc., and only recommend their products. That person must be licensed by the appropriate regulatory organisation. To give advice without the necessary authority is a criminal offence. [Klein, Gerald. Dictionary of Banking. Pitman Publishing, 1995].

CONT

Care should be taken not to confuse the function of financial administration with organizational responsibility. Many of the matters discussed in ... [the Guide on Financial Administration] concern the responsibilities of every manager for managing financial resources; others refer to services normally provided by financial advisors or their equivalents; and still others may often be provided by staff providing other functional services.
