This half day course provides a practical, hands-on workshop on the Irish Regulations (S.I 60 of 2007) implementing MiFID Regulations, amendments thereto and will focus on the key MiFID requirements and best practice. 

 

The course is delivered by experienced Irish professionals including - (i) an Irish regulatory lawyer, former FSA officer and former head of compliance; (ii) Irish regulatory accountant and former managing director of trustee/custodial services for one of Ireland’s largest funds companies.  The course, delivered by practising Irish professionals for Irish senior management examines MiFID issues from an Irish perspective.  We act for many firms obtaining MiFID authorisation and we will share our experiences of the Financial Regulator’s requirements with attendees. Peter Oakes and Kevin O’Doherty are non-executive directors of Irish financial firms.  We bring this experience to all training courses, covering operational impact of regulatory requirements from director to day-to-day management levels.
