The FSA has cancelled the permissions of London-based investment adviser Omagis Capital for failing to be “open and honest” in its dealings with the regulator.
The FSA says Omagis breached its rules because it failed to pay a skilled person to conduct a 166 skilled person report, resulting in the skilled person’s review not being undertaken.
The regulator also says the firm failed to provide failed to provide information despite “repeated requests”.
FSA head of retail enforcement Tom Spender says: “Skilled persons reports are vital to identify when and where consumer detriment has occurred and the level and extent of redress that might be due.
“By failing to work with the skilled person and the FSA in an open and co-operative way, Omagis stood in the way of that process.”
