The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has launched a consultation on proposals to improve transparency on the diversity of company boards and their executive management teams.

The Chartered Insurance Institute board has shelved, at least temporarily, any plans to deregister its Chartered Financial Planner-body, the Personal Finance Society, until the results of a major review are known next year.

The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has released details of a widespread membership consultation and engagement initiative on its membership offering, including consulting on the relationship the body has with its Personal Finance Society (PFS) arm.

The Financial Conduct Authority is set to increase fees paid by new businesses seeking authorisation, according to its latest consultation paper.
