For IFAs and Mortgage Brokers
There are two (2) places left on our next supervisory training workshop.
FCA rules and guidance state that “Firms should ensure that those supervising employees ……. have the necessary coaching and assessment skills ….. to act as a competent supervisor and assessor.”
It is important therefore that firms can demonstrate that they meet the FCA’s rules and guidance in this respect.
ATEB provides training to address this need; details of our next scheduled Supervisory Training Workshop are shown below.
- Date: Thursday 15th October 2015;
- Location: Newcastle upon Tyne;

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.
