    • Branko Bjelobaba FCII

Slides available to download

This comprehensive and interactive one hour webinar will focus on the critical financial aspects of riding this storm - overall business solvency, (compliance with adequate resources COND 2.4), looking at key areas of the business, revised requirements of senior managers, reviewing expenditure, reliance on key clients, HMRC help, furloughing, cutting unnecessary spending and looking ahead.

It goes in hand with the separate “FCA general insurance changes in response to coronavirus” event which focuses on the long list of updates to rules and guidance now finalised by the FCA for the general insurance sector (published 1 May 2020) and is a one stop shop for knowing what has to be done in a compliant and timely manner.

It is relevant to general insurance brokers/intermediaries, their insurers and any other market participants.

Learning objectives
By the end of this webinar delegates will gain insights into:
• What the FCA expect right now
