Accreditation expiry date: 31/05/2024

Board Notice 194 of 2017 issued in terms of FAIS contains a new Determination of Fit and Proper Requirements for Financial Services Providers, and came into effect on 1 April 2018.

It has introduced a whole new set of fit-and-proper requirements for FSPs, key individuals and representatives. Given that you – as the key individual – are the person responsible for ensuring that the financial services provider (FSP) complies with the legislation, it is crucial that you know what to comply with and how to comply; and this is, hopefully, what you will find in this short course.

This course covers two main aspects: firstly, the new fit-and-proper requirements applicable to you as a key individual; and secondly, your responsibilities as regards these requirements in your FSP.
