Post MIFID Reviews

The introduction of MiFID into the FSA's rules represented the single largest change in the regulatory landscape since the Financial Services Act was introduced. Firms have expended considerable effort to ensure that they change their procedures, documentation, Compliance and Senior Management arrangements to meet the new requirements.

Many firms are understandably feeling 'MiFID weary'. However, now is the ideal time for any organisation to:

• review its implementation of the new requirements;
• to check that the new requirements have been correctly interpreted;
• to make sure that new procedures and controls have been thoroughly implemented; and
• to ensure the effort put into complying with the new rules does not become wasted.

IMS can assist your organisation ensure it has met the FSA's requirements and unwritten expectations, and that your business obtains value from the new arrangements put in place. IMS is able to work with firms to do this in a time and cost efficient way, bespoking any review to make sure it is proportionate to the size, complexity and budget of your business.
