Event Synopsis:

With the abolition of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in April, the UK Financial System has recently undergone a series of transformative financial reforms. Most significant is the recent structural reform under the Financial Services Act 2012 (the 2012 Act) which created three new regulatory bodies, namely: The Financial Policy Committee (FPC), The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). All three entities aim to strengthen and improve the UK’s financial services industry through regulation and supervision of authorised firms. As such, companies must have a complete understanding of these critical regulatory changes and their potential impact on their businesses and clients.

In a two-hour Live webinar, a panel of distinguished thought leaders will offer an in-depth discussion of this significant topic. In addition to extensive scrutiny of the provisions set forth by the 2012 Act, they will also provide discussion on best practices in developing company policies to avoid regulatory violations.
