Welcome to Bovill. We are a specialist financial services regulatory consultancy, founded in 1999, with offices in London and Manchester. We provide a full range of consultancy advice, reviews and compliance support services to firms regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and others, including entities seeking FSA authorisation and firms and individuals who are uncertain about whether their activities need to be regulated. Please browse our services pages for details of the wide range of services we offer.
We advise clients – small and large - in virtually every area of financial services – and beyond. We have particular experience in helping firms whose regulated activities are secondary to their main business. See our sectors pages for more details. We also advise firms in sectors which are not regulated but which nevertheless are affected by regulatory requirements, particularly relating to money laundering and financial crime. See our dedicated page on money laundering.
Regulation is constantly evolving and firms need to keep up with the changes and new FSA initiatives. On our Briefings pages you will find information about the major changes relating to MiFID (the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) and CRD (the Capital Requirements Directive), FSA themes such as TCF (Treating Customers Fairly) and the targeted help we can offer clients to keep them abreast of the FSA developments that are relevant specifically to them. We are running seminars to help firms with the practicalities of implementing regulatory change – please see the events page for further details.
Our service is founded on the skills and expertise of our people. Our senior management has extensive compliance and regulatory experience, much of it gained in the FSA or predecessor organisations, or in regulated firms, and we have strong analytical and communication skills. Our aim is to apply our experience, knowledge and skills to producing comprehensible and workable compliance solutions, tailored to the real-life business needs of our clients.
