Summary

The webinar will focus on the compliance challenges faced by advice firms in consistently identifying vulnerable clients and how to accurately document vulnerabilities and outcomes.

It will cover the four stages of identification and support (Identification of risk factors, causative nexus, Interventions and Outcomes) and explore how consistency in reporting and objectivity can be achieved through technology.

Particular focus will be on the more cognitive based vulnerabilities (falling under the resilience and capability triggers identified by the FCA) and the challenges presented in identifying and recording these vulnerabilities.
