FCA/APCC liaison meeting 9 June 2014
Agenda • AIFMD – update/key messages (Susan Tyldesley) • Update on Connect (Arlene McDermott) • Feedback from April event/APCC September forums – progress to date • Contact Centre – introduction (Sarah Bax) • AOB
AIFMD update/key messages • Current volumes • Information still outstanding (missing information, other information) • Marketing and management passports • Applications received before 22 April 2014 • Recent communication exercise to firms still waiting to hear from case officer • Reminder to firms that if they intend to delay their application until nearer 22 July 2014 they will need to be compliant with all AIFMD implementing requirements at 22 July. Applications deemed materially incomplete after that date may result in disruption to firm’s business • AIF Schedule • Quality of applications
Update on Connect Arlene McDermott
Feedback from APCC Septemberforums and progress to date Key issues: • Consistency of approach/better questioning – ongoing focus for Permissions managers • Comms (prior to allocation) – de-prioritised due to resourcing issues but there is renewed focus on this • More sector specific guidance/better web layout – work is ongoing on this • Early doors meetings – now taking place more regularly • Better engagement during case life – case officers being encouraged to engage in a variety of methods and training being delivered • Managing expectations better (i.e. when a case is complete/incomplete) – considerable work done on this with case officers to ensure consistency of approach (feedback would be helpful!)
