This included bringing ARs under the Financial Ombudsman Service’s remit for complaints as well as making principal firms hold a special FCA permission in order to appoint an AR.
FT Adviser's Amy Austin speaks to Simon Morris, a financial services partner with CMS, and David Mills, financial adviser and founder & chair of Pilot, about whether the changes will have a large effect and what advisers can expect.
