Regulation

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is responsible for the conduct supervision of all regulated financial firms and the prudential supervision of those not supervised by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA).

The FCA promised an approach that would be judgement led, forward looking and interventionist with a focus on firms’ business models and the potential risks that their activities pose to consumers and financial stability.

A productive working relationship with the regulator, and a firm handle on any regulatory changes is important for BIBA members of all sizes. This section of the BIBA website aims to help members do just that. It is dedicated to regulatory and compliance matters and acts as a repository of information for members, allowing them to access the information they want, when they want it.

The BIBA Compliance Manual

An essential tool written in plain English which not only helps you understand what the rules mean but then how to implement effective compliance within your own firm. The manual is priced at an extremely competitive £495 plus VAT.

The BIBA Compliance Manual has developed into an industry standard since it was first produced in 2004 in response to members’ demands.

This easy-to understand compliance manual acts as a source of reference as well as providing an explanation of key rules and requirements. Each chapter explains in plain English what the rules mean and then provides clear templates in order to help members achieve, maintain and demonstrate compliance.

Gavin Mitchell, Managing Director of Allied Westminster (Insurance Services) Ltd said:

“For anyone who wants to rightly embrace compliance as were it an academic subject or discipline, I firmly believe there is nothing better than the BIBA Compliance Manual, put together by Branko Ltd. It is an absolute masterpiece, superbly structured, flows like a first-class textbook, and has an excellent stock of well-placed document templates. I believe it is invaluable in terms of practical application, so much so that we have built our entire compliance systems around this Manual. I simply cannot understand why any BIBA Member would hesitate, it is worth every penny”
