I have found this report very useful covering many aspects of EIS. Nice to see statistics and average charges in the report too. I have saved the report for future reference as it will be a useful resource to refresh my knowledge.

Very interesting and informative, the report made a complex area of financial planning much more understandable. Excellent learning, training and competence material from Intelligent Partnership. A good read with excellent exam at the end to test my understanding.
