COLPs and COFAs: What are they and why you need them - Now! - Webinar

The new 2011 regulation of legal service providers requires every undertaking to have appointed individuals who fulfil the role of Compliance Officer Legal Practice (COLP) and Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration (COFA). It is essential for firms and nominated individuals to be prepared for the changes by fully understanding the nature of the obligations imposed and when those obligations commence. This webinar will clarify and explain exactly what the new regulations require so that delegates are fully conversant with the roles. The webinar will cover:

• The new regulatory regime – an overview of OFR and RBR
• How COLPs and COFAs are designed too support OFR and RBR
• Appointing a COLP and COFA – what you need and what to expect
• The respective roles of COLPs and COFAs – you are not alone!
• For LDPs, ABSs and Sole Practitioners – ways to comply
• What to do if things go wrong – ensuring and continuing compliance
