Meeting the new CF31 requirements for Mortgage Advisers
In Policy Statement 10/9 published in June 2010, the FSA confirmed the creation of a new Controlled Function 31 for Mortgage Advisers and the timetable for implementation. By 1st October 2011, advisers must have secured individual approval from the FSA to fulfill CF31 or cease advising customers.

This practical workshop has been developed to help firms and individuals understand the FSA 's new expectations of holders of CF31 and how to achieve and maintain approval under the new regime.

Attending the workshop will help you to:

  • Understand what the introduction of CF31 means for your business
  • Clarify who is covered and who is not under the new CF31 proposals 
  • Effectively manage the approval process
  • Review the way systems and controls are allocated and overseen in your business
  • Develop a plan to meet the transitional requirements and ensure ongoing compliance


Who will benefit
This workshop will be of value to Mortgage Advisers, Sales Managers, Compliance and Training & Development professionals in all organisations offering mortgage advice.
