Throughout the world Financial Services are becoming increasingly regulated and subject to legal supervision. In the UK the Financial Services and Markets Act requires businesses that are regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), to undertake due and diligent enquiries on all their staff who will be carrying out 'controlled functions'.

The requirements are contained in the FSA's Supervision Manual and include verifying a candidate's honesty, integrity, reputation, competence, capability and financial soundness.

With in excess of 70 clients in this sector we specialise in carrying out these checks on behalf of customers throughout the world.
