"The investment experience and knowledge of all individuals who have trading authority over the account should be obtained, as well as KYC information for anyone with a financial interest in the account. For spousal RRSPs, the contributing spouse does not have a financial interest in the account, so KYC information is required for the non-contributing spouse only."

Discretionary income is the amount left after subtracting expenses from total income, available for savings or investments. Total income = $100,000 (employment) + $10,000 (investments) = $110,000. Subtracting
$95,000 in bills gives $110,000 - $95,000 = $15,000. The feedback from the document states:
"Discretionary income eligible for savings and investments is the difference between the amount of money coming in from employment and other sources and the amount of money going out to pay bills. In this example, $100,000 + $10,000 - $95,000 = $15,000." Reference: Chapter 4 - Getting to know the clientLearning Domain: The Know Your Client Communication Process
