New FS register coming at end of July

FCA is to replace the existing Register with a new, enhanced, Financial Services Register at the end of July, prior to adding a directory of certified and assessed persons later in the year. It says it has made improvements following user feedback and that the new look Register will make it easier to find and understand information.

FCA says firms can continue to update their information on past and present certified employees for inclusion in the Directory which is now to launch later this year, or they can delay until FCA has confirmed a publication date.
