WASHINGTON, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. announced today that John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE: JWa, JWb) will publish a first-of-its-kind competency handbook for financial planning.

The handbook will also be available as an e-book on all major e-readers.

"The financial planning profession has long needed a book that encompasses not just the tactical pieces of putting together a financial plan, but also the academic underpinnings of a growing discipline," said CFP Board Chief Executive Officer Kevin R.

This handbook, designed for the entire profession of financial planning, will provide a theoretical framework for many of the major content areas in financial planning, while also providing real-world guidance for practicing professionals.
