A conversation with the FCA: Detecting, disrupting and preventing market abuse

Firms are facing numerous challenges to effectively meet their obligations to detect and prevent market abuse, from setting adequate surveillance frameworks to ensuring they have appropriate governance arrangements in place. With the FCA continuing to focus on market abuse, its messages and publications indicate that it’s not looking to turn the heat down anytime soon.

Join us for insight from the FCA on its recent supervisory visits and key market watch publications as we discuss areas that continue to challenge firms around their market abuse systems and controls.

We’ll be discussing:

• market abuse risk assessments (MARA)
• trading and communications surveillance
• governance arrangements
• offboarding and limitations.

You can also submit any questions you have in advance when registering, or during the session for Q&A.
