FCA Compliance Consultants
FCA Compliance Consultants
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) can seem a pretty intimidating regulator; the rulebook is huge, and often complex.
Even the largest businesses sometimes find it difficult to keep up with the constant stream of rule changes, policy documents, and consultation papers. It is important to avoid the real risk of breaching FCA rules and regulations.
An FCA compliance consultant assists authorised firms, and those seeking authorisation, with ensuring their FCA compliance. For some firms, particularly those with little internal compliance capacity, consultants are an integral part of their compliance management. For others, compliance consultants are called upon when the firm has a specific compliance requirement.
Compliance obligations cannot be outsourced to a consultant but a good compliance consultant will enable a firm to meet its obligations through cost-effective solutions.
The FCA has produced a fact sheet about using an FCA Compliance Consultant.
When selecting an FCA compliance consultant firms 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.
