Course description
The UK financial services industry faces ever more intrusive regulatory scrutiny and tougher penalties for failures to comply. The FCA continues to focus on “credible deterrence” to ensure that financial services firms behave in accordance with its requirements. In keeping with this, regulatory visits of all types have become more stringent and more intrusive than ever before, with an increased likelihood of enforcement action, follow up work required and other regulatory interventions. Thorough and detailed preparation is key to a good outcome to the visit. Firms that prepare thoroughly tend to experience little or no difficulty, whereas those that do not prepare may face an uncertain outcome.
This focused course is designed to help you and your senior management know what to expect from a supervisory visit, how to prepare effectively and what steps you can take to have a positive influence on the visit itself.
