Systems and conduct
Demonstrate systems for client money, reporting, complaints and promotions. Compare effort with Cyprus when considering alternatives.
Controls framework
Document your control framework: governance, risk, compliance monitoring, client money and reporting. Map each control to an owner and evidence, and test it on a schedule.
Controls mapping
Control: client money reconciliation. Owner: finance. Evidence: daily reconciliation logs. Frequency: daily. Document each control in a table with testing results.
Questions we hear
Can UK clients be served without authorisation?
Generally not for regulated activity. Take advice.
Ratings are relative and approximate; time and budget figures are planning estimates, and regulator timelines may exceed them. Verify at source. Tax rates were checked against public sources in October 2026 and are subject to change. Not legal or tax advice.
