With 80% of regulation being influenced from Europe, can you afford to ignore what is happening in Brussels? Much legislation is decided upon long before it arrives in a FSA consultation paper (CP) and the twists and turns in MiFID have been a clear illustration of where firms should have been more greatly engaged in the process when it was first thought of in the late 1990s, long before it swept across the industry several years later like some kind of surprise.

It was HM Treasury who wanted reform of the Investment Services Directive (ISD) to bring greater harmonisation. The Financial Services Action Plan includes over 40 directives that have been implemented and are being enforced by the Commission. Are you directive compliant? Do you understand how the rules put directives into effect and influence the way you have to do business?

For update services, access to a lobbying consultancy based in Brussels and much more come to the expert compliance consultants at AJS Consultancy Services.
