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,

The FCA2, in the course of its supervision of a firm,
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

SYSC 12.1.8R (1) deals with the systems and controls that a firm should have in respect of the exposure it has to the rest of the group. On the other hand, the purpose of SYSC 12.1.8R (2) and the rules in this section that amplify it is to require groups to have adequate systems and controls. However a group is not a single legal entity on which obligations can be imposed. Therefore the obligations have to be placed on individual firms. The purpose of imposing the obligations
