FSSC National joint RDR and NOS Consultation Events
The FSSC is holding a series of combined consultation events on National Occupational Standards (NOS) and Retail Distribution Review (RDR) standards, with a focus group on draft NOS for Providing Financial Advice and Financial Planning, and for Securities and Derivatives in the morning. The afternoon will concentrate on the development of new Appropriate Exam Standards (ApEx) for retail investment advisers. There is a break between 12.00 and 13.00 when lunch will be served.
NOS bring together the knowledge, skills, behaviours and application needed to competently perform the role and the ApEx Standards frame the knowledge and application elements as well as satisfying the regulatory requirements for designated roles and activities.
