Who should attend?
The course will benefit existing or potential FCA approved persons within insurance companies, e.g. board directors not occupying a Senior Insurance Management Functions, in addition to executives in sole FCA regulated firms, compliance officers, risk managers and company secretaries.

What are the outcomes of attending?
Programme

  • The elements of good corporate governance that are at the heart of the approved persons regime
  • The controlled functions required in a firm by the FCA
  • High Level Standards, particularly the Threshold Conditions and the business model, and the importance the FCA attaches to them
  • The fitness and propriety tests, and the competence expected of an approved person
  • The standards approved persons should meet and how they apply
  • A brief review of expected regulatory awareness (e.g. conduct risk, financial crime, current supervisory thematics)
  • Maintaining approval: know what information must be notified to the FCA
  • Documentation: demonstrating effective governance.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course you will be able to:

  • Explain what the FCA expects of you in terms of the way you carry out your responsibilities
  • Describe the fit and proper requirements that must be satisfied, particularly competence
  • Interpret the conduct standards of the Principles for Approved Persons in business situations, and what would constitute a breach of those principles
  • Examine the way in which systems and controls are allocated and overseen
  • Review your allocation of controlled functions
  • Revise the ‘hot topics’ that the FCA would expect an approved person in a SIF to be familiar with
  • Identify the process to keep documents which support the governance of the company up to date (and often discovering they are not!)..
