Whether you work to UK or international regulations, RSM's financial services industry experts will guide you through the complex regulatory landscape providing integrated solutions across the sector.
The UK financial services sector is a complex and multi-faceted landscape. Heavily regulated in the UK and internationally, the challenges of maintaining a profitable and compliant business have never been greater.
Reputational risk is high and increasingly executives in financial services organisations are in the spotlight and being held personally accountable for compliance and best practice. By taking the time to understand your business and business needs, our team can help you meet and overcome these challenges.
RSM can conduct a S165 or S166 (for certain lots) Skilled Persons Review if required. Regulators are writing to firms (sometimes following a supervisory visit) setting out required improvements, rather than issuing a more formal S165 or S166 Skilled Persons Review. In these circumstances RSM can offer to carry out an independent review following completion of the required improvements to provide additional comfort to the regulator and assurance to the firm.
