RNS Number : 1264U  Jarvis Securities plc  27 June 2024

Jarvis Securities plc

 

("Jarvis" or "the Company"

And with its subsidiaries the "Group")

 

Update

The Board of Jarvis provides a further update on the ongoing review of the
skilled person, appointed to review the systems and controls of the Company's
subsidiary, Jarvis Investment Management Limited ("JIML") pursuant to s166 of
the Financial Services and Market Act 2000 (the Skilled Person).

As set out in the Company's annual results announcement of 26th March 2024,
the Skilled Person was preparing the Phase 1c report which covered JIML's
approach to uninvested client cash, interest retention and term deposits. The
finalisation of this report had been delayed from the original expected
completion date of 28th February 2024.

The Directors of Jarvis can advise that the final report, including its
recommendations, has now been submitted to JIML and to the Financial Conduct
Authority.  As a result JIML is currently working through the recommendations
and is creating an additional remediation plan to address the points arising
from the report. This is the third report prepared by a Skilled Person for the
FCA and JIML.

Phase 2, which requires the Skilled Person to review the remediation work
undertaken by JIML on the matters raised in any of the three s.166 reports,
has now commenced and is expected to be completed by Q4 2024. As part of this
work the Skilled Person will also be required to provide a Reasonable
Assurance Opinion to the FCA (confirming the Skilled Person is confident as to
the completeness of the remediation) along with any final recommendations.

 

The voluntary agreed restrictions on JIML, as announced on 16th September
2022, remain in place. JIML will continue to work with the Skilled Person and
the FCA with the aim of having these restrictions lifted on its impacted Model
B clients as soon as possible.
