Association of Professional Compliance Consultants

The body for compliance consultants who advise firms regulated in the UK.

The APCC is active in enhancing the professional standards of compliance consultants and is recognised as a trade body by the FCA and other regulators. This provides our members with significant benefits in terms of direct access to the Regulators as well as business leads.  The APCC often works in conjunction with the FCA to pilot or test new initiatives, and we also provide with valuable feedback on specific subjects as requested by them.

IFA Consultancy Limited

IFA Consultancy was founded in 2004 specifically to provide specialist IFA compliance support services to directly authorised independent financial advisers. Demand for our expertise has grown alongside the increasing regulatory burden faced by IFAs.
Typically we serve SME retail firms by providing a highly informed and responsive outsourced compliance service. Think of us as an on-demand and extremely cost-effective ‘Compliance Department’. IFA Consultancy’s clients span firms with existing Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration as well as those new to regulation. In addition to IFAs we also provide compliance consultancy to other regulated businesses such as insurance and mortgage brokers. Kevan Thorn Dip FS Cert CII (MP), brings an insider's eye to our services, having himself gained 10 years' management experience as an independent financial adviser prior to these 20 years as an IFA compliance specialist.
