The UK has now left the EU. We are in a transition period which is due to end on 31 December 2020. While most rules and requirements continue unchanged during the transition for most firms and most clients, it is prudent to keep up to date on the current position and what is likely to happen when the transition period ends.

FCS Transitional Arrangements
Steve Bailey Compliance Update
As you will be aware the Financial Services Authority ceased to be and the Financial Conduct Authority took over the regulation of financial advice firms on 01 April 2013.
The FSA issued PS13/05 last week which includes updated rules and transition arrangements. The policy statement itself is 88 pages but the ‘appendix (3)’ that accompanies it is a mere 1990 pages so you must excuse us for not as yet absorbing every word. The document can be seen here.
