CFP Board Public Disciplinary History
Effective Date: 6/29/2021
In April 2021, the Disciplinary and Ethics Commission (Commission) issued an order in which Ms. Lensch received a Public Censure. Pursuant to Section E.2 of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct (Code and Standards), a CFP® professional may not engage in conduct that reflects adversely on his or her integrity or fitness as a CFP® professional, upon the CFP® marks, or upon the profession. Such conduct includes a personal bankruptcy or business bankruptcy filing or adjudication where the CFP® professional was a Control Person of the business, unless the CFP® professional can rebut the presumption that the bankruptcy demonstrates an inability to manage responsibly the CFP® professional’s or the business’s financial affairs. On July 10, 2020, Ms. Lensch filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Ms. Lensch admitted the bankruptcy but denied that the existence of the bankruptcy demonstrates an inability to manage responsibly her financial affairs and requested a hearing to demonstrate, by a preponderance of the evidence, that she could rebut the presumption. The Commission concluded that, although Respondent was involved in an accident that contributed to her financial difficulties, her financial issues began well before the accident occurred and caused her bankruptcy; therefore, she did not meet her burden in rebutting the presumption that the bankruptcy demonstrates an inability to manage responsibly her financial affairs. Accordingly, the Commission concluded that Ms. Lensch violated Standard E.2.c. of the Code and Standards and issued to her a Public Censure.

About Bankruptcies
Effective June 30, 2020, CFP Board may publicly sanction a CFP® professional for a personal or business bankruptcy that violates CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. (There is no violation if the CFP® professional can make a case that the bankruptcy does not reflect on the professional’s ability to responsibly manage his or her own financial affairs or the financial affairs of the business.) You can find public sanctions in the “CFP Board Public Disciplinary History.” Under the “Prior Bankruptcy Disclosure Procedures” that applied from July 2012 – June 2020, CFP Board published information about a CFP® professional’s verified single bankruptcy in a press release and on CFP Board’s website. These were disclosures, not discipline or sanctions, and remain on CFP Board’s website for 10 years. You may learn more about the disclosure procedures here. You can learn more information about a bankruptcy filing at the U.S. Court’s website. You will be required to register and pay a nominal fee to view the information on that website.
