As any IFA knows, compliance issues have had a huge impact on the management of every firm, and the burden continues to increase. The FSA's initiative on Treating Customers Fairly has had a major effect on the operations of all firms and the FSA's Retail Distribution Review could lead to further fundamental changes. All this takes up much management time and deflects from the core activity of advising clients.
