Mark Turner Featured in FT Adviser: Time Running Out to Meet New FCA Requirement

Mark Turner, Managing Director in the Compliance and Regulatory Consulting practice at Duff & Phelps, was featured in FT Adviser discussing how financial services firms need to start preparing for the implementation of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR) which will be effective across the industry from December 2019.
