ESMA published the Final Report on guidelines for the assessment of knowledge and competence. As required under Article 25(9) of MiFID II, these guidelines specify the criteria for the assessment of the necessary knowledge and competence requirements of investment firms’ staff. These guidelines have been developed to enable firms to fulfil their obligations under Articles 24 and 25 of MiFID II, such as meeting general conduct of business principles, information and reporting to clients, and suitability and appropriateness requirements, through the attainment of appropriate qualifications and appropriate experience by their staff.
The guidelines will come into effect on 3 January 2017.
