REC 3.19 Investigations
Where a UK recognised body becomes aware that a person has been appointed by any regulatory body (other than the FSA or a UK recognised body) to investigate:
- (1)
any business transacted by means of its facilities, if it is an RIE; or
- (2)
any aspect of the clearing services which it provides;
it must immediately give the FSA notice of that event.
A UK recognised body need not give the FSA notice of:
- (1)
routine inspections or visits undertaken in the course of regular monitoring, complaints handling or as part of a series of 'theme visits'; or
- (2)
routine requests for information; or
- (3)
investigations into the conduct of members of the UK recognised body or of other users of its facilities where the use of its facilities is a small or incidental part of the subject matter of the investigation.
