ABOUT STUART TAYLOR

I have over 30 years experience in the UK financial services industry. Prior to joining KPMG in 2010, I spent several years working in a variety of risk and compliance management roles for a major high street bank, including regulated salesforce monitoring and mortgage sales compliance. I also have direct regulatory expertise after spending two years working as a Supervision Officer with the FSA and have first hand exposure to regulated sales having previously been a financial adviser dealing with retail, high net worth and commercial clients. Since joining KPMG, I have advised numerous firms on various aspects of their regulatory requirements, focusing on compliance arrangements and conduct risk issues. I have been involved in numerous regulatory and operational reviews of regulated entities, including: PPI root cause analysis (RCA); Training and Competence (T&C); and the performance of S166 skilled person reviews whose scope has included sales compliance, compliance monitoring, T&C, adviser recruitment standards and financial promotions. I have also been involved in helping clients improve their governance and compliance arrangements in respect of MCOBS compliance and have completed several assignments involving past business review activities on regulated products, such as investments and life assurance sales.Over the last 18 months, I have supported a range of clients in their efforts to achieve compliance with the requirements of PSD2. This work has included gap analyses, compliance reviews, readiness assessments and authorisation support. I have also supported clients in developing their \'compete\' propositions in light of the evolving payments landscape and technological advancements.
