Welcome 

FSC is an independent consultancy practice with a history and pedigree going back to 1995. One of our founders was Ronald Smith who was Director of Operations and Deputy Chief Executive at IMRO until 1993. Ronald Smith retired from FSC in June 2005. Since our foundation in 1995, we have placed great emphasis on building, maintaining and enhancing the high quality of our professional services.

As the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Almost all of our clients have come to us by word-of-mouth recommendation. We are delighted that Ronald Smith won the Commendation Award for Best Compliance Consultant at The OStCaR (Outstanding Service to Compliance and Regulation) Awards in 2004. At the 2005 OStCaR Awards, he won in two categories namely Best Compliance Consultant Award (Investment Management) and Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement. These Awards demonstrate our pedigree and commitment to quality.

 

our motto

At FSC, we firmly believe in the Latin saying  "homo doctus in se semper divitias habet" which, in English, translates as:

"A  learned  man  always has wealth within himself".

In this spirit, we are proud to be associated at the corporate or individual level with reputable organisations such as:- 
    * Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators
    * Securities & Investment Institute
    * The Compliance Register
    * Chartered Institute of Bankers
    * Chartered Institute of Management Accountants
    * Guild of International Bankers
    * Society of Expert Witnesses 


our approach

Business success is as much about avoiding problems as having to solve them. It is a truism that prevention is better and cheaper than the cure. We firmly believe that good compliance is inseparable from good management in the financial services industry. Good compliance requirements and culture need to be integral to everyday operational procedures and practice.

With our experience, knowledge and expertise, FSC can help you to ensure that your operations and practices meet or even exceed the expectations of the regulators and enhance the confidence of your customers. At FSC we approach our services consistently with these principles in mind. In doing so, we take account of your business interests and operating objectives. Our aim is to help you in the attainment of your goals through providing cost-effective compliance of the highest possible standard. Along the way, we also encourage you to have fun. After all, life is not worth living if you do not have fun each day!
