Compliance

The FSC Standards provide a consistent and practical framework that helps our members operate professionally, ethically, and in line with industry best practice.

By complying with the FSC’s Standards, members demonstrate their commitment to:

• Acting with integrity and professionalism
• Maintaining strong governance and compliance practices
• Delivering services that meet consistent technical standards
• Building trust with clients, regulators and industry stakeholders
• Supporting the reputation and long-term success of the financial services industry.

Compliance with the FSC Standards is a condition of Full Membership and reflects a shared commitment to high professional standards across the industry.

Annual compliance attestation

Under FSC Standard 1 – Code of Ethics & Code of Compliance, Full Members are required to report annually on their compliance with the mandatory FSC Standards.

This annual attestation demonstrates that members continue to meet the Standards and provides assurance that appropriate governance and compliance processes are in place.

The FSC Company Secretary will contact Full members at the end of each financial year with instructions on how to participate in the reporting process.
