The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) mandates Category I financial services providers to amend their licence profiles via the FAIS e-portal to electronically register representatives authorized for scripted sales execution. Providers must verify adherence to strict governance, oversight, recording, and monitoring controls, or alternatively submit a manual form outlining any compliance gaps and a remediation schedule. Successful profile validation enables electronic representative uploads, whereas failure to implement adequate controls or meet competency standards exposes both the FSP and its representatives to regulatory enforcement.
