A reminder that we are running a supervisor’s training workshop on the 25th September.
It is important that firms can demonstrate that they meet the FCA’s rules and guidance and specifcally that “Firms should ensure that those supervising employees ……. have the necessary coaching and assessment skills ….. to act as a competent supervisor and assessor.

How the FCA’s assessments of suitability have developed.
In this final article of the series, we cover the remaining items from PS20/06.
On 5 June, the FCA published the long awaited policy statement following its consultation from 2019, CP 19/25. The policy statement was accompanied by a substantial Guidance Consultation covering the FCA’s proposals for guidance on how firms should implement the new rules. Consultation feedback is required by 4 September 2020.
This policy statement covers far more than the ban on contingent charging for transfer advice.
