Elements of the insurance sector are regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to ensure consumer protection, financial stability, reduce financial crime and increase public awareness and market confidence.  As a result, there are some jobs in insurance which are ‘regulated functions’.  To do these jobs you must have one of the ‘Appropriate Qualifications’ identified by the FSA.  Our job profiles incorporate Appropriate Qualifications for each regulated function.
