Scotland is next FSA target

Following on from the success of the last set of appointment-only surgeries held in the North East, these will be taking place between 11-13 December.

The free surgeries are available to financial advisers, mortgage intermediaries and general insurance brokers in Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

The FSA has reiterated its commitment to helping small firms comply with its requirements - especially as the TCF deadlines draw nearer.

As part of this help it is offering one to one surgeries where firms can ask any questions they may have about regulation face-to-face with a member of FSA staff who supervise small firms.

Surgeries are informal sessions lasting up to one hour and the issues discussed are not recorded. Places can be booked online on the FSA website.
