EG 15.5 1Removal of a disqualification

EG 15.5.1RP

1An auditor or actuary may ask the FCA to remove the disqualification at any time after it has been imposed. The FCA will remove a disqualification if it is satisfied that the disqualified person will in future comply with the duty in question (and other duties under the Act). When it considers whether to grant or refuse a request that a disqualification be removed on these grounds, the FCA will take into account all the circumstances of a particular case. These circumstances may include, but are not limited to:

  1. (1)

    the seriousness of the breach of duty that resulted in the disqualification;

  2. (2)

    the amount of time since the original disqualification; and

  3. (3)

    any steps taken by the auditor or actuary after the disqualification to remedy the factors which led to the disqualification and any steps taken to prevent a similar breach of duty from happening again.
