Workshop on 24 September at the FSA offices in London
The APCC is pleased to announce a workshop on 24 September at the London offices of the FSA from 9:30 until noon, registration is from 9 am. The workshop is for compliance consultants and will focus on the promotion of unregulated collective investment schemes by retail financial advisers. This follows a recent thematic review by the FSA of this area which found significant failings by regulated firms. This event is free of charge.
All delegates should have received their email invitation from the FSA for this event, please email the APCC if you have not received your invitation. Some places may still be available for delegates from APCC member firms. Again please contact the APCC if you would like to attend the event.
The workshop held on 8 July primarily focussed on authorisations and what makes a good application pack. In addition Simon Collins gave an update on APCC activities and on enforcement issues following his presentation to the FSA at their own internal enforcement conference.
