“Candidates bring with them a range of knowledge and experience in business, business administration, financial markets, financial products and services, law, economics, accounting , taxation and credit activities and credit services”, a press release published this week of reading.

“FSCP members have been appointed after consultation with the industry to ensure members have industry knowledge and experience. Misconduct by financial advisors will therefore be assessed and sanctioned by their peers, leading to further improvements in the industry.
