Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 17 December 2015, amend the Financial Advisers (Fees) Regulations 2010.

The amendments clarify that—

  • fees charged for work carried out by employees of the Financial Markets Authority (the FMA) only relate to employees who are qualified in accountancy, auditing, business, commerce, economics, or law or who have a professional level of skills, training, or experience in financial markets matters. This aligns the regulations with the Financial Markets Conduct (Fees) Regulations 2014 (see Part 2 of Schedule 1 of those regulations); and

  • fees calculated on an hourly basis for work done by the FMA will take into account work carried out by professionally qualified contractors and secondees as well as employees.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 19 November 2015.
