Prudential & Regulatory Advisory
A prudential and ICARA specialist offering regulatory risk advisory to FCA-authorised investment firms, led by a former SMF16. Specialising in MIFIDPRU, ICARA, Client Assets and regulatory governance.
Regulatory challenges for investment firms
Many investment firms continue to face challenges in meeting the FCA’s expectations under MIFIDPRU.
Recent FCA reviews have highlighted issues in areas such as regulatory reporting, own funds and liquidity requirements, and CASS compliance.
Where these challenges arise, firms often require additional support to ensure their frameworks are robust, proportionate, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
Samel Risk & Compliance works alongside consulting and advisory firms that require specialist regulatory expertise.
Available to support projects on an associate or subcontract basis.
