FCA Compliance Services

Navigating the intricate landscape of Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations can be daunting. The ever-expanding rulebook and frequent updates pose challenges for businesses of all sizes, making it essential to stay compliant to avoid penalties.

An FCA compliance consultant plays a crucial role in assisting authorized firms and those seeking authorization to ensure adherence to FCA regulations. While compliance obligations cannot be entirely outsourced, a skilled consultant can offer cost-effective solutions to help meet these obligations effectively.

When selecting an FCA compliance Services should consider the following key issues:

  • What experience does the compliance consultant have in the area of compliance that the firm requires assistance with, and is their knowledge up to date.
  • What capacity does the FCA compliance consultant have, and do they have any contingency arrangements in the event that they are unable to undertake the work due to unforeseen circumstances.
  • Are they able to provide workable solutions rather than just identify problems.
  • Will they be able to work with key individuals in the firm, and will they add value to the firm.
