Be they short or long, regulatory visits are increasingly intrusive. During the visit it is essential that you give the FCA the clearest view of the strength of compliance and other procedures. Working with you before, during and after the visit, Fulcrum Compliance can assist in making the visit go smoothly.
Dealing with the FCA on an ongoing basis can seem daunting. There is a wide variety of forms to complete and important notifications to be made. These can be both routine (such as when you take on new regulated staff) and non-routine (when you change your business model). Fulcrum Compliance can advise you on the key information requirements and assist in completing the forms.
