Forthcoming FCA Webinars

The current requirements with which an authorised person, and an approved person, must comply are set out
in the Financial Services and Market Acts 2000, the regulations made under that Act and the rules in the FCA
Handbook. Under that Act, FCA are given the power to give guidance – and they do so extensively in the
Handbook. FCA call this ‘general guidance’. FCA also give guidance to particular firms in their particular
circumstances. They call this ‘individual guidance’.
The information which we will give to you on this webinar is for training purposes only. It is not guidance in
either of these two senses. I hope you will appreciate that I am not in a position to give you, or your firms,
individual guidance. The purpose of this session is to give you a better understanding of FCA provisions and to
enable you to apply them to your circumstances.
The slides and notes for this webinar should be read in conjunction with the detailed legislation or regulations.
No responsibility for loss occasioned by any person acting or refraining from action as a result of the material
contained in this programme can be accepted by the authors or 2020 Innovation Training Limited.

CP15/34: Regulatory fees and levies: policy proposals for 2016/17
12
Proposals set out for the necessary changes to the Handbook required to implement the new Market Abuse Regulations (EU MAR).
The Treasury is preparing secondary legislation to repeal or modify existing domestic law, where it conflicts with EU MAR, to meet the UK’s amended obligations under the new regime. This secondary legislation will also cover new EU MAR obligations which are not covered by the existing market abuse regime, such as the requirement for employers to have internal procedures for employees to report infringements of EU MAR.
In this consultation document, FCA set out proposals for the necessary changes to the Handbook required in implementing this new regime.

CP15/35: Policy proposals and Handbook changes related to the implementation of the Market Abuse Regulation (2014/596/EU)
Prior to 31 October 2004, first charge mortgages were regulated under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA) if they fell below the relevant financial threshold. In November 2015 the Government made legislation1 which will make the administration of these mortgages a regulated mortgage activity from 21 March 2016 and the CCA will then no longer generally apply.

CP15/36: Future regulatory treatment of CCA regulated first charge mortgages
13

Recent Policy Statements
15
This policy statement sets out an overview of the consultation feedback and FCA response on:
The rules banning opt-out selling; and
The Handbook guidance.
The final rules and guidance do not differ significantly from those consulted on. The rules banning opt-out selling come into force on 1 April 2016. The Handbook guidance will come into force at the same time. The non-Handbook guidance will be effective immediately. FCA recognise that firms will need time to implement any necessary changes, but expect that firms should already be working towards delivering appropriate and timely information for add-on sales. FCA expect firms to have made the necessary changes to their sales journey by 30 September 2016.

PS15/22: General Insurance Add-Ons Market Study – Remedies: banning opt-out selling across financial services and supporting informed decision-making for add-on buyers
In this policy statement FCA set out responses to the feedback they received to the consultation Consumer credit – proposed changes to our rules and guidance (CP15/6), published in February 2015. This response deals with the issues relating to credit broking, lending, financial promotions and debt. FCA response on issues relating to the Mortgage Credit Directive was published in PS15/20 in July 2015. As noted in CP15/6, FCA consumer credit regime is relatively new.
FCA are still learning more about how the market operates, and the risks to consumers. They are therefore finding it necessary to propose more changes to the requirements than they would usually do for a sector that they have been regulating for longer. FCA will continue to monitor developments in the market, and outcomes of their work in authorising and supervising firms, and may need to propose further changes.

PS15/23: Consumer credit – feedback on CP15/6 and final rules and guidance

the Society of Lloyd’s and managing agents.

FCA propose other miscellaneous changes to the DTRs in CP15/11 which were not directly related to TDAD implementation but were required to clarify or improve the current regime. In this Policy Statement, FCA set out the feedback to those proposals and the FCA’s response to it. The new DTRs will come into force on 26 November 2015.

Client Money Reconciliations and Recordkeeping – 7.15
Firms must carry out internals daily, externals regularly (per MiFID)
FCA – some firms fail to do this, wide variety in methodology and MiFID interpretation of regularly
New rules – Internals daily, externals no less than monthly. Firms to justify timing of externals. Guidance on how reconciliations should be done -AP
Technical proposals to improve clarity and address inconsistencies (a number of provisions made into rules) –AP’s

© 2020 Innovation Training Limited - 2015
Client Money Reconciliations and Recordkeeping – 7.15
Review the systems for carrying out internal reconciliations and ascertain whether the client uses a standard or an alternative method to perform its internal reconciliations. IMPORTANT: A firm wishing to adopt a non-standard approach needs, from 1 December 2014, an assurance report from the firm’s auditor.
© 2020 Innovation Training Limited - 2015
Client Money Reconciliations
33
Confirm the firm conducted daily internal reconciliations between its internal accounts and records and those of any third parties by whom the client money is held.
Examine and consider whether the frequency of external reconciliations performed by the firm is adequate and whether the firm considered the risks which the business is exposed, such as the nature, volume and complexity of the business and where and with whom the client money is held.
© 2020 Innovation Training Limited - 2015
Regular internal and external reconciliations
Obtain a bank certificate from each bank at which CBAs are held made to the reporting date. Check (on a sample basis to include this date) the reconciliations carried out by the firm in respect of:
reconciling the total of the client bank account balances with the client’s account balances;
reconciling the clients’ bank account balances with the balances recorded on the bank statement; and
tracing outstanding items to client’s accounting records and bank statements.
© 2020 Innovation Training Limited - 2015
Reconciliations
34
Ensure that there is evidence of independent review of these reconciliations and that any differences on reconciliations are corrected as soon as possible.
Verify that none of the bank accounts (per statement or cash book) have been overdrawn in the year and that no debit balance on an individual client balance is netted against other client balances when calculating the money that should be held on the client account.
Review any internal or external compliance reports for evidence of material non compliance with the rules of CASS 7.6.1,7.6.2,7.6.9 and if having carried out a reconciliation it has not complied materially with CASS 7.6.13 to CASS 7.6.15. Where material non compliance arose, confirm the firm informed the FCA without delay.
© 2020 Innovation Training Limited - 2015
Reconciliations
Alternative Approach
Money paid in and out of firm’s own account rather than client accounts
Relevant for multi currency and multi product companies
FCA research in 2012 indicated some firms using approach inappropriately
New rules - Clarify when alternative approach relevant - AP
New rules - Notify FCA no less than 3 months before adopting - AP
New rules - Risk justification to be made on why alternative approach necessary, adequate systems and controls, buffer requirement, AUDITOR REPORT to FCA BEFORE adoption -AP
© 2020 Innovation Training Limited - 2015
35
Both those firms currently using the alternative approach and those wishing to use it for a business line in the future will be required to obtain a report from their auditor before operating the alternative approach to client money segregation. For those firms already using the alternative approach the reasons for this stem from the fact that the amended rules impose new requirements on these firms - AP
