Market Abuse & FCA Compliance - Rules, Requirements & Recent Developments

Introduction

Market abuse remains one of the FCA's top priorities. The FCA has both criminal and civil fining powers to tackle market abuse and is increasingly focusing on individuals who work in financial institutions, or those who advise them.

The FCA has identified several areas in which it will be increasing its oversight, following a recent review into delayed disclosure of inside information notifications received under the market abuse regime.

This newly updated short webinar will consider the key findings from the FCA's review, the rules on delaying disclosure of inside information and notifying the FCA, and the risk areas in practice for issuers and their advisors.

The webinar will also look at other recent developments in MAR.
