FPCOB 15.1 Application and purpose
General application
1Subject to FPCOB 15.1.2R, this chapter applies to firms with a Part 4A permission for regulated funeral plan activities.
This chapter does not apply to a PRA-authorised person.
Purpose
- (1)
1The purpose of FPCOB 15 is to set out the detailed prudential obligations that apply to regulated funeral plan activity.
- (2)
1Adequate financial resources are necessary for the effective management of prudential risks. The rules in this chapter therefore impose requirements relating to the financial resources of a firm to which this chapter applies.
- (3)
1The rules concern the adequacy of the financial resources that a firm needs to hold in order to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due (the general solvency requirement). These resources include both capital and liquidity resources.
- (4)
1The rules also place a core capital resources requirement on a firm to which this chapter applies. This core capital resources requirement varies depending on the nature of the activities undertaken by the firm.
