Main description:

Since the financial crisis, one of the key priorities of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has been individual accountability. This book addresses the regulatory and employment law challenges that arise from the FCA's and PRA's requirements.

The Senior Manager, Certification and Approved Person Regimes

Regulatory references and whistleblowing

Disciplinary investigations, enforcement and sanctions

Notifications, 'Form C', and fitness & propriety

Bonus disputes and the Remuneration Code

It is a vital reference for lawyers and human resources professionals working within the financial services industry, both in-house and in private practice.
