Course Summary This introductory/intermediate workshop style course is suitable for both beginners as well as those wishing to hone up or refresh existing skills. The scale of regulation can seem both bewildering and confusing. This one day interactive workshop is designed to explain the process in clear and easy to follow steps. It starts with an overview of UK financial services regulation and compliance. It reviews the central pieces of UK legislation,including important secondary legislation. It also examines how the EU has influenced development, especially regulation & compliance and will continue to do so whilst Brexit discussions remain at what still seems to be a very early stage. We will also discuss the role of the FCA in detail including the changes introduced by the Senior Managers Regime which is now live in the banking sector and will be extended to all regulated firms by There will be an explanation of the workings of the FCA s Handbook and regulatory processes. We will understand how to use the FCA website to research and analyse areas of the rules and their application in respect of UK regulation and compliance issues. We will also look at several important and topical areas of the regulatory framework and how these are being treated under current regulation & compliance requirements.
