ACI UK (Financial Markets Association) 

Since 1956, ACI UK (Financial Markets Association) has enjoyed a proud and illustrious history representing the interests of individual members engaged in professional trading, broking, operations, regulatory and compliance activities in foreign exchange, money and other OTC markets.

Competence, Conduct and Compliance
ACI UK is actively engaged with market regulators, member firms and industry influencers (including other trade associations and policy-making bodies)  to inculcate and promote the highest standards of competence, conduct and compliance for financial market participants. The FX Global Code of Conduct was built on the foundations of the original ACI Model Code – used by central banks and major institutions globally as the de facto ‘standard’ for FX and MM business practice and operations - and ACI UK continues to influence and inform best market practice. In the UK we are particularly focused on encouraging cultural change within organisations to ensure that individuals at every level and in every function – from trading to compliance – are aware of and embrace their individual accountability and responsibility.   

ACI is committed to supporting our member community to fulfil these obligations, including the adoption of new SMC&R accountability and responsibility obligations   ACI’s accredited exams and professional qualifications – including the new Global Code Certificate - allow members to demonstrate and validate understanding  of - and adherence to – the principles of the FX Global Code (and other national and international codes of practice and conduct).   Through its Committee for Professionalism and other working groups, ACI also plays an important role representing the interests of individuals subject to organisation and/or industry action in respect of alleged conduct breaches.

The Association of Professional Compliance Consultants, or APCC, is the body for compliance consultants who advise firms regulated in the UK.

The APCC is active in enhancing the professional standards of compliance consultants and is recognised as a trade body by the FCA and other regulators. This provides our members with significant benefits in terms of direct access to the Regulators as well as business leads.  The APCC often works in conjunction with the FCA to pilot or test new initiatives, and we also provide with valuable feedback on specific subjects as requested by them.

Our members come from all sectors of the financial services industry.  Many firms specialise in a specific sector such as fund management or investment retail intermediaries, and, in a sign of the times, we are now very active in the Consumer Credit arena.  Other members have cross sector capability and range from sole traders to the largest consultancies in the sector, all benefitting from the membership as part of the wider consulting community.

Founded in 2013, Industry Events Online (IEO) was established to help finance and financial services practitioners and other interested parties meet the professional standards expected of them from regulatory bodies and other institutions. Finding the most appropriate event or training course in the right location, on the right date, with the required CPD (Continual Professional Development) points or hours, and all within budget is no easy task, especially given strict industry deadlines and penalties.
IEO presents delegates with an easy-to-use search facility allowing them to find and compare the most appropriate webinars, conferences, briefings, seminars, training courses and much more, quickly and effectively. This eliminates all the time-consuming effort and distraction of trawling through countless different websites and other channels, and the risk of getting it wrong. www.industryeventsonline.com
