A Wealth of Experience
Chris and I have over 45 years of experience between us in Client Strategy, Commission & research management, regulatory change implementation and FO risk and controls assurance across both buy and sell side .
Our current focus is responding to the FCA's and ESMA's roll back of MiFID II rules relating to CSAs, assisting buy side in assessing the significant potential benefits of these changes, as well as addressing concerns.
We can also offer expertise in analysing and enhancing 1LoD FO Control frameworks, including RCSA and policy and procedure reviews.
As we have many years direct business experience of change implementation in these areas, FGA can provide a greater level of understanding, insight and efficiency then most larger consulting firms. We strive to offer the highest level of service tailored to your needs and your relevant stakeholders. We aim to help you enhance your governance structures and streamline implementation of regulatory changes to enable you to maximise the growth and development of your business.
