With another consultation paper recently released to the industry in the form of the FMA’s two proposed standards for transitional licensing (see: FMA Consults…), our latest poll seeks to gain a picture of how you, as risk advisers, are tracking right now in the current environment and with many different aspects of the financial services sector under examination.

To recap the consultations and reviews currently underway:

  • FMA Consultation on Standard Conditions for Transitional Licensing – Submissions due 26 July

The new regime is set to come into effect in June 2020 and applications for transitional licensing are expected to open in quarter four this year.
