The BS 8453 launch event - Fully attended

Tuesday, 8 March 2011 at the Hatton, London between 14.00 and 18.00

The new British Standard, BS 8453 Compliance Framework for Financial Services was developed to give financial services firms and their stakeholders a recognised framework for managing compliance programmes based on industry best practise.

To introduce the new standard, the British Standards Institution (BSI) are hosting a FREE launch event. We will be attending as an exhibitor and will be on hand to answer your questions and explain how you can become certified.

Attendees will hear:

• Why the standard has come about.
• How the standard helps regulated firms comply with regulation.
• Insights into current and future regulations and how the standard fits.
• Practical guidance on implementation (large and small firms).

The launch will end with a drinks reception giving attendees the opportunity to network with financial services compliance experts who developed the new standard.

Approved Associate Consultant Programme

Due to the unprecedented demand from financial planners for the ISO 22222 certification, we have seen an increase in demand for consultants competent to implement the requirements of ISO 22222 for financial planners.

As a direct result, the Approved Associate Consultant Programme was created which provides training and approval for eligible consultants. The majority of applications for the AAC come from Compliance Consultants as they wish provide ISO 22222 implementation as a value-added service to their clients.

Once a consultant has met the eligibility criteria, attended the ISO 22222 ‘How to implement Best Practice’ course training course, they will then be certified as an Approved Associate Consultant by Standards International.

This will then provide financial planners with the confidence that those Approved Associate Consultants on the Standards International AAC register have been trained and are competent to implement the requirements of the standard and to assist their clients to successfully pass their ISO 22222 assessment.
