Accordingly, the FCA may decide to keep a firm'sPart 4A permission in force to maintain the firm's status as an authorised person and enable it (the FCA) to monitor the firm's activities.

may sometimes judge it necessary or desirable to impose additional requirements on a firm or
in some way amend or restrict the activities which the firm has permission to undertake. The guidance in this chapter describes when and
how the FCA2 will
seek to do this.22

It may (in addition to any other powers it might exercise):111(1) give directions to an ROIE1 under section 296 of the Act (Authority's power to give directions) if it has failed, or is likely to fail, to satisfy the recognition requirements or if it has failed to comply with any other obligation imposed by or under the Act; or1(2) revoke a recognition order under section 297 of the Act (Revoking
For a firm which
undertakes business internationally (or is part of a group which
does), the FCA will have regard
to the context in which it operates, including the nature and scope of the
regulation to which it is subject in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom. For a firm with
its head office outside the United Kingdom,
the regulation in the jurisdiction where the head office is located will be
particularly relevant. As part of its supervision of such a firm,
