FCA Compliance to Market Abuse Regulation: Identifying conflicts to prevent market abuse

MCO has partnered with CeFPro to deliver a complimentary Webinar to discuss FCA compliance to Market Abuse Regulation: Identifying conflicts to prevent market abuse.

The FCA MAR states that firms must take all appropriate steps to identify and prevent or manage conflicts of interest between the firm’s employees, managers, and clients. The regulation was created to make financial markets safer and transparent and further maintain market integrity, increase investor protection and encourage global cooperation.

In this webinar, we will discuss the FCA expectations on the management of conflicts of interest on how compliance can be enhanced to prevent insider dealing, misuse of MNPI, personal account dealing, and illegal short-selling with better systems and controls.

Key agenda topics include:

• Identifying and Preventing Conflicts of Interest
• Types of Conflicts and real cases example
• Identification and Disclosure of Insider Information
• Personal Account Dealing and PAD policy under FCA Rules
• Pressure from the FCA to manage PAD in practise.
• Practical challenges
