We are delighted to announce that our new and upgraded Member’s Area will be available on Monday 9th May.
Aligned to our current standards and branding, it provides access to a comprehensive toolkit of processes, procedures and templates, as well as training material, such as webinars and supervisory workshops. We will be adding further training material over time.
ATEB clients, who have access to the full toolkit, will receive a further email communication over the next 48 hours explaining how to access the site. Note that the old toolkit will no longer be functional from the end of this week, but all materials have been converted and are available via the new site.
Those of you who are not ATEB clients can now browse the site, access free webinars and purchase training material. To access the full functionality of course, you will need to join the ever increasing merry band of loyal ATEB followers.
If you’re not an ATEB Member and would like to find out more about the Member’s Area functionality, please contact us here.
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.
