Regulatory AlertsCP13/18: Quarterly Consultation Paper No. 3
The Financial Conduct Authority proposes minor amendments to its Handbook regarding the transfer of consumer credit regulation, late publication charges for listed issuers, electronic communications with unitholders, and waiver application procedures. These changes aim to update regulatory frameworks and recover costs associated with delayed financial reporting by listed entities. The regulator invites stakeholders to submit comments on the proposals by 17 January 2014 for Chapter 2 and 6 February 2014 for all other chapters.
Once a quarter, we consult on proposed miscellaneous amendments to our Handbook. These tend to be minor changes but we still want to get your feedback on our proposals.
What are we consulting on this quarter?
We are proposing to:
make minor amendments relating to the transfer of consumer credit regulation from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) to the FCA
introduce an administrative charge to recover costs of dealing with late publication by listed issuers of periodic financial reports under the disclosure and transparency rules
extend the ability of authorised fund managers and others to communicate electronically with unitholders, including through website-based communications, and
amend our procedure for processing a waiver application
