The Financial Sector Conduct Authority ("FSCA")
published for public comment proposed amendments to the General
Code of Conduct for Authorised Financial Services Providers and
Representatives, 2003 ("General Code") and the Specific
Code of Conduct for Authorised Financial Services Providers and
Representatives conducting Short-term Deposit Business, 2004
("ST Deposits Code").
The proposed amendments follow (and do not deviate materially
from) the amendments initially proposed by the FSCA to the General
Code and the ST Deposits Code on 1 November 2017, and are primarily
aimed at promoting the fair treatment and protection of financial
customers.
The amendments to the ST Deposit Code are in line with the
initial amendments proposed by the FSCA on 1 November 2017.
