Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Advice
Regulation under the FCA is very complex. ‘The Handbook’ is vast and often difficult to understand. There are a number of sourcebooks for specific sectors, followed by all the general rules.
If you are authorised by the FCA, you must understand the rules.
I advise a lot of businesses on the FCA rules, often supporting their own compliance teams as a ‘3rd line of defence’.
I also assist with the authorisation process, preparing the detailed FCA application forms and providing necessary policies in support. Sometimes, I become involved after an application has been submitted and the FCA have said they are ‘minded to’ refuse it.
If you are struggling with the FCA rules or just need some one-off advice, you should get in touch.

How will I learn?This course is delivered online and is accessed on a per learner basis. It typically takes one hour to complete, but you can work at your own pace with no time restrictions. The course is split into five sections, each in presentation format with audio, and there is a multiple choice test at the end of each section. You will have three attempts to pass each test, which require you to get all but one question correct to continue to the next section. I want this course to be easily accessible for all participants, so if you have particular access needs (for example, visual impairment, dyslexia, deafness etc.) please contact me so we can work together to achieve as positive an experience as we can for you.
