Bovill social media regulation workshop UKCFA Dec 14Bovill
The UK Crowdfunding Association invited Bovill - the specialised regulatory consultants - to present at their workshop on FCA Social Media Regulation.

Suitability has been with us for what can seem like forever. And, like the universe itself, its impact is far reaching and its complexity can at times seem bewildering.
In our briefing we explore themes around suitability and look at the journey firms have been on.
It has been three years since the wealth management ‘Dear CEO letter’. Bovill’s Richard Scrivener – who was at the regulator at the time – looks at some of the issues still troubling parts of the industry as well as the FCA, such as risk-profiling, assessing capacity for loss and what to do with ‘client-directed holdings’.
We give some practical insight into how these issues are being tackled. We also touch on some related areas, for instance, delving into recent Final Notices to spot what is new and what lessons can be learned and looking at more recent regulatory developments.

Our May briefing looks at the impact of the latest pension reforms.
New freedom and choice has made pensions a more attractive investment, and the greater complexity means there’s greater need for advice. But is the opportunity for advisers worth the risk? As it becomes harder to divorce pension planning from investment advice, will wealth managers who choose not to offer pensions advice lose business? And what is the knock on effect for the industry as a whole? Our London briefing look at the new pensions regime. We consider:
•what’s changed
•how it affects advisers and the suitability considerations they face
•how to address the compliance challenges that it brings

Bovill Briefing Introducing MiFID II September 2014Bovill
Bovill - the UK financial services regulatory consultancy - runs regular briefings. These are the slides from the September briefing - the first of a series on MiFID II. For more information visit www.bovill.com.
Further information on the event is below:
MiFID brought major regulatory change to investment firms back in 2007. But technological strides and market developments since the financial crisis are now exposing weaknesses in the directive.
MiFID II is a complete rebuild – aiming to close the gaps in the regulatory framework and introduce a ‘Mark 2’. Strong enough to protect the investment industry whatever the future holds, Mark 2 will also help achieve all of MiFID’s original aims by bolstering investor confidence.
At over 200 pages, MiFID II is longer, broader and more granular than MiFID I. It increases regulatory requirements, may well bring new firms into its scope, and will require changes to the way some investment firms currently work.
The first in a series of Bovill briefings on different elements of MiFID II, this introductory session provides:
• a general overview of the directive
• detailed timelines
• the steps you need to start taking now.
This briefing is relevant for all compliance officers of firms that undertake investment business in UK and Europe including those firms that are currently exempted from MiFID I.

On the hook and nowhere to hide
The regulators’ focus on senior individuals is greater than ever before and the personal cost of failing in your duties can be massive.
The new Senior Managers Regime will soon replace the Significant Influence Function (SIF) component of the Approved Persons regime for UK deposit takers and systemically important investment firms. The regime aims to increase accountability – and personal liability – for individuals who are Senior Managers in these organisations, and also sets the tone for those in other types of firms.
In this briefing, we:
• Give a brief refresher on upcoming changes to the SIF and Approved Persons world
• Look at the proposed Senior Managers Regime
• Reflect on the regulators’ increased scrutiny of individuals
• Offer some practical tips on how to keep out of the regulators’ ‘firing line’

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Benefits
A broad variety of resources are readily accessible
Cost effective for both students and educators
Expands student access to learning
Increased interaction between students (wider
community)
Potential for peer review and improvement of materials
Flexibility to adapt materials to meet individual class
needs
Provides materials that meet more learning modalities
than written materials
3. Challenges
Time consuming to find materials that are OER
Time consuming to REVIEW materials for quality
Sometimes difficult to determine whether an item can be
used
Technology issues when accessing materials – both for
educators and students
4. Winding it up…
As you can tell, I thought of more pros than cons for the
use of Open Education Resources. I’m excited to be part of
an educational system that keeps students in the forefront
and provides opportunities for them to learn using different
modes and with less expense!
Thanks!
