IFAct Services Regulatory Consulting FSA Authorisation Service

FSA Authorisation Service

The FSA does try to make the authorisation process relatively straightforward; it is certainly much more straightforward than it used to be and the new documentation is tolerably clear. If you are considering authorisation you may care to go on line and look at what the FSA offers you by way of help and assistance and the documentation that is required for the full Application Pack.

All of the firms we have worked with have found that our assistance has saved them a great deal of time interpreting the questions that the FSA ask, and our experience allows us to write your compliance arrangements specifically for you but in less than one tenth of the time it would take someone without experience.

It is worth noting that the FSA recognise that a very large number of firms do engage professional help with their Authorisation Pack and engaging an experienced firm is obviously an advantage.

Before engaging a Consultancy, the FSA do publish questions for you to use when screening the Consultancy and these questions and their answers are on our Frequently Asked Questions page.
