Workshop on ethics for MiFID II

Image

Guideline 14: Firms should ensure that staff providing relevant services possess the necessary knowledge and competence to meet relevant regulatory and legal requirements and business ethics standards. A firm provides regular mandatory training to staff in the area of MiFID conduct of business, and organisational requirements. The firm adopts a code of ethics to set forth the standards of business conduct and behaviour necessary for the proper provision of relevant services and obtain written acknowledgements from staff that they have read, understood and complied with it.

Q: Moet ik het integriteitsprogramma van DSI gedaan hebben om aantoonbaar vakbekwaam te zijn volgens ESMA? A: Nee. DSI stelt het DSI-integriteitsprogramma als één van de verplichte voorwaarden voor toetreding tot het DSI-register. Deze route heeft de voorkeur van de AFM. Kiest u voor een andere route dan DSI-certificering dan hoeft een DSI-integriteitsprogramma daar geen deel van uit te maken, wel moeten ondernemingen ervoor zorgen dat personeel over de nodige kennis en bekwaamheid beschikt om aan de geldende wet- en regelgevingseisen en normen op het gebied van bedrijfsethiek te voldoen (richtsnoer 14). De onderneming dient vast te leggen op welke wijze ervoor is gezorgd dat het personeel over deze kennis en bekwaamheid beschikt en moet dit aan kunnen tonen.
