Background
The Regulatory Board is responsible for giving effect to the IFoA’s public interest regulatory responsibilities under its Royal Charter, through oversight of the regulatory functions of the IFoA including: standards setting relating to professional conduct and competence, disciplinary functions, operation of the Practising Certificates system, and the public interest regulatory aspects of the examination and admissions system.
