Best Practice Event

Compliance

Tuesday 26 November, 10.30-12.30

Online

We are delighted to invite you to our last Best Practice event of the year. As always, this event has been tailored to meet your CPD requirements and will provide you with valuable insights into both current regulation and what changes are in store for the industry in 2025.

So, what do we have planned for the November Best Practice Event?
We will have two sessions from Graeme Stewart, Head of Consultancy,  starting with a review of the most important compliance updates since our September Best Practice event. This will include commentary on the FCA's latest 'Dear CEO' letter, an important communication from the Regulator which directly impacts on our advice landscape.

For his second session, Graeme will be joined by Carmen Bews, Policy Supervisor, as they concentrate on sharing with you best practice highlighted by the FCA since the start of the Consumer Duty journey. These examples will be relevant across all types of advice (wealth, mortgage and protection). 

Therese Chambers, Joint Executive Director of Enforcement and Market Oversight at the FCA, commented on this summer's FCA webinar that the Regulator will look at a firm’s responsiveness to best practice examples and how these have been embedded as part of the Consumer Duty evolutionary journey. This session will be of upmost importance to business owners, advisers and support staff involved in Consumer outcomes.

For this event, we will also be joined by...
  • Defaqto, will be highlighting the benefits of streamlining your business processes into a standard operating model using one application to create efficiencies in your advice process.
  • Mark Brownridge, Strategic Relations Director at Defaqto, will be discussing the impact of tax-related announcements in the recent Budget, the continuing part VCT and EIS can play in a diversified portfolio and share with you five essential takeaways for clients regarding tax-efficient investing in early-stage UK companies.
