Issues of Definition
Textbooks used in colleges offering financial planning-related courses also generally do not define the term 'financial plan'. For example, Sid Mittra, Anandi P. Sahu, and Robert A Crane, authors of Practicing Financial Planning for Professionals do not define what a financial plan is, but merely defer to the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards' definition of 'financial planning'.
Because of the lack of a formal definition in industry literature, and in major textbooks on the subject, the term 'financial plan' is merely inferred from the defined process of 'financial planning'.
