Assignment background
The assignment for FPC003 consists of one (1) case study. You are to analyse the quantitative and qualitative information provided about clients Paul and Sandra McCann and produce a statement of advice (SOA). The SOA must address the McCanns’ goals and objectives and incorporate the responses to various questions they have posed to you as their adviser.
Refer to Topic 8 and the sample SOA in the online resources for guidance on the structure and format of your SOA.
You are required to address all the questions and key retirement issues raised by the client below.
Clarity and conciseness in the articulation of your responses are important, with any explanations to be easily understood by the clients.
Marks are awarded for assignment research and referencing.
Please note that you must reference your SOA, for referencing instructions refer to your Assignment Details section.
Assignment questions
Scope of advice
Your task is to:
1. Examine the clients’ stated goals and objectives for each of the following questions, issues they have raised and, after analysis, consider appropriate responses.
The questions and issues raised by the clients are important in the development of appropriate strategies you believe the clients should be considering. Those questions to which the clients require a specific response should be addressed in your SOA. All goals, issues and directions raised by the clients form the agreed scope of your advice to the McCann family.
2. Complete an SOA that incorporates, in a coordinated and communicative way, the strategies the clients should be adopting and suitable responses to each of the questions the clients want you to address. Your SOA should also conform to the content and structure of an SOA and its component parts as described in Topic 8 and the sample SOA, which can be found in the online resources for Topic 8.
The following questions and issues raised by Paul and Sandra are designed as prompts to help you consider the key issues. A number of assumptions are required. These assumptions should be incorporated into your responses and the SOA.
Key retirement issues
• When they retire, when Paul reaches age 62, they estimate they will require $65,000 per year in today’s dollars, excluding the cost of holidays every second year estimated at $15,000. They want your advice as to whether this is realistic and achievable, and what strategies they should be undertaking now to achieve this important financial goal, and why.
They have noticed that their superannuation funds offer retirement income streams in the form of account-based pensions. They would like to know how they work and whether they are something to consider in retirement.
In addressing these key retirement issues, the McCann family have also raised the following related questions and issues which they want you to address in your written advice:
• Should they be looking to establish an SMSF and what are the pros and cons of doing so? How could an SMSF Help them in accumulating wealth for their retirement, particularly if they wanted to purchase more property? What can an SMSF do that their current funds cannot?
• What is your view of Paul and Sandra continuing to invest in residential property, coupled with negative gearing, to build wealth for retirement? Additionally, what options should they be considering with their residential investment properties given their poor performance?
What are the pros and cons of purchasing a Perth property to live in compared to renting? Do you have a view as to what they should do?
Paul and Sandra have heard that there would be no capital gains tax (CGT) if they rent out the family home for a short period, and they would like you to explain the current rules about this.
• Paul and Sandra are not aware of superannuation beneficiary nominations and have not nominated any beneficiaries to their superannuation. What are they and what should they do about them, if anything?
• Paul has requested your advice on a suitable superannuation fund that can accept his rollover benefits, and employer and voluntary contributions. He also wants to know what he should do with his redundancy package.
• Sandra wishes to build her superannuation for retirement after hearing on the local radio about the importance of saving for retirement. When she starts her new job, she would like to invest more in superannuation and would like you to advise her on how much she should contribute. Should she continue to use CareSuper as her principal superannuation fund?
• In regard to Paul’s and Sandra’s life insurance arrangements, they want you to address their precise insurance strategies needs at a later time. However, as they have policies both inside and outside superannuation, what are the issues they need to be aware of with each option? Is it more advantageous to incorporate all the policies they need through their superannuation funds?
Florence’s aged care requirements
• Florence (Sandra’s mother) has granted Sandra enduring power of attorney. You met Florence when she accompanied Paul and Sandra to the first appointment. You have established that Florence is happy for Sandra to act on her behalf.
Paul, Sandra and Florence want your advice on aged care and Florence’s cash flow when she moves to the aged care facility. They would like to know how the fee would be calculated, the implications for her age pension and how she should fund the refundable accommodation deposit. They also want to know approximately how much age pension Florence will get once she enters the facility.
Case study: Paul and Sandra McCann
You are a financial adviser and principal of All Out Financial Planning, a boutique financial planning practice licensed by ABC Financial Solutions Pty Ltd (AFSL 222222).
You first met Paul and Sandra McCann two months ago when they were referred to you by an existing client. At that meeting you completed a data collection form and the clients provided you with copies of the following:
• current superannuation statement for both partners
• tax return for the previous financial year (2020/21) for each of them
• bank statement of loans and savings.
The clients have requested that you prepare a statement of advice (SOA) which addresses their goals and objectives and each of the questions they have raised as outlined in the following ‘Scope of advice’.
They have confirmed that the following information collected through a comprehensive fact find is accurate and still relevant.

Employment details
Paul Current position as a senior risk and safety engineer at BlueScope Steel, Wollongong, NSW, finishing in two weeks’ time.
Commences new position as site engineer at Desert Port Corporation, WA, in two months’ time.
Sandra Stay-at-home parent currently but has accepted a part-time position with a publishing company in Perth, Book Press, and will start in three months’ time.
Background
Paul and Sandra have been married for over 25 years. Paul has always been the main income earner as Sandra chose to leave her job as a librarian some years ago to be the primary carer for their children.
Paul has been working as an engineer at BlueScope Steel for the last 26 years and has recently been offered a voluntary redundancy as part of a major restructure. His total redundancy benefit will be $175,000 after tax.
Fortunately, he was offered an ongoing contract as site engineer for Desert Port Corporation in
Western Australia, with the same total package that he is on now ($195,000 plus superannuation of 10%), which he has accepted. The family will soon move to Perth and Paul will start his new role in about two months’ time.
Sandra is looking forward to returning to the workforce and has found a part-time role in Perth with a publishing company, Book Press Pty Ltd. She confirmed she will start her new job in about three months’ time and will earn $52,000 p.a. plus superannuation of 10%.
Paul and Sandra plan to rent initially at an estimated cost of $650 per week. They have approached an agent to purchase a property in Perth as they would prefer to own a property rather than rent.
Paul will fly-in fly-out (FIFO) to the Pilbara region. He is required to work for 10 days and then has six days off. The company will bear all his flying and living expenses in the Pilbara region.
The family home in Wollongong will be rented out at an expected gross rental of $600 per week.
Attitude to investing — risk profile
Following the completion of a comprehensive risk tolerance questionnaire and subsequent discussions with you, Paul and Sandra have agreed with your conclusion that Paul is a ‘growth’ profile investor and Sandra a ‘balanced’ profile investor.

Motor vehicle costs $3,000
Total $158,000
Paul’s redundancy
Paul has advised that the after-tax $175,000 redundancy payment will be added to the joint online savings account as above when he finishes.
Paul’s superannuation
Paul’s superannuation is with the BlueScope Steel Employer Fund. Its current value is $370,000 (tax-free component is $22,000 and taxed component is $348,000).
Sandra’s superannuation
Sandra has a smaller superannuation balance of $43,000 in CareSuper Industry Fund — conservative balanced option (all taxed component). These benefits were rolled over to CareSuper when she gave up work. She has not made any further contributions.
Investment properties
The investment properties were purchased over an 18-month period across 2014 and 2015.
Both residential investment units on the Gold Coast are now valued below their original purchase price including costs. Original purchase price plus costs of the properties are as follows:
• Gold Coast (unit 1): $159,000
• Gold Coast (unit 2): $268,000
• Brisbane industrial property: $385,000
• Wollongong family home: $310,000.
Paul has read some books on building wealth through property investments and has attended a few investment seminars which have recommended negative gearing into property. He was told his property investments could double in seven to ten years, but he is very concerned now that both his Gold Coast units are valued below their purchase price. He is uncertain about what to do with these properties, though he finds that overall, after negative gearing is calculated, he gets a tax advantage.
Paul said he is interested in exploring the establishment of a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) as he has read you can borrow through an SMSF to buy property.
Paul’s and Sandra’s insurances
Paul and Sandra have clearly stated that although they will require a review of their life insurance requirements, they do not want you to address this area in your SOA. They want you to address this separately, at a later time.
However, they do want you to address some preliminary questions they have relating to the ownership and workings of life insurance policies.
Their respective superannuation statements show that Paul and Sandra have basic life and total and permanent disability (TPD) cover. They have said they both hold other life insurance policies outside of the policies in their superannuation funds.
Estate planning
Both Paul and Sandra have simple wills that were drawn up when they bought the family home in Wollongong 15 years ago. They leave everything in individual names to each other in their wills. They do not have powers of attorney, nor have they completed beneficiary nomination elections with their respective superannuation funds.
Paul and Sandra’s retirement plans
Paul plans to work for at least a further nine years and hopefully build enough wealth to then retire. Sandra plans to retire at the same time as Paul.
When they retire, they have estimated, given no debt, they will need $65,000 per year in today’s dollars, excluding major holidays, which they plan to take every second year at a cost of $15,000 in today’s dollars. Their wish at this stage is to retire in Wollongong or near the south coast of New South Wales.
Sandra’s mother Florence — aged care considerations
Paul and Sandra also mentioned that Sandra’s mother, Florence, aged 78, who is living in their granny flat (non-homeowner) in Wollongong has, because of illness, been recently assessed by an aged care team who has granted approval for her to move into an aged care facility.
Florence’s only investment is $380,000 in cash and term deposits with her bank. She receives a part age pension. Paul, Sandra and Florence have selected a church-operated facility in Wollongong which
Florence feels comfortable with. It has a published price for a refundable accommodation deposit of $240,000 (which she will pay in full upon entry using her cash/term deposit funds). They believe that she can live comfortably on an income of $22,000 per year.
Sandra’s sister, who lives near Wollongong, will be able to provide support to Florence while Paul and Sandra are living in Perth.
