The FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) require individuals who will be conducting FCA regulated activities to be properly vetted to maintain the integrity of financial institutions. The level of screening required depends on the level of responsibility the candidate will have, and the appropriate checks should be conducted to mitigate any risks.
For those working in an FCA regulated role, background screening checks are compulsory to ensure individuals have the necessary skills and qualifications to carry out their responsibilities, not only that but conducting thorough employee screening mitigates the risks associated with the sensitive nature of the work carried out.
A directorship check can inform you as to whether a candidate had been an officeholder or shareholder of a previous business. This check will also inform you if the candidate was ever disqualified from being a director, which will help to equip you with the information to understand whether there would be any potential conflicts of interest, how well the candidate led and managed in a previous position, and whether they have been involved in any companies that have gone into administration or bankruptcy.
Regular re-screenings, at least annually, are recommended to ensure ongoing compliance and to identify any new risks associated with current employees.
A standard DBS check looks into any cautions, spent or unspent convictions, reprimands and warnings and previously stepped-down cautions or convictions. To be eligible for a standard DBS check a candidate must meet the eligibility criteria, please speak to our team for further information.
