What the Lesson Covers

  1. 0:00If something goes wrong, who has authority depends entirely on what it was.
  2. 0:05The main bodies. Each covers a different slice, and the gaps between them are where trouble lives.
  3. 0:15The gap that matters. Some products sit outside all of them, and then there is no one to complain to.
  4. 0:24What registration actually means. That the firm met requirements and can be sanctioned. Not that anyone endorsed it.
  5. 0:33The one check. Before money moves, establish which regulator covers this and confirm the registration.
  6. 0:41Find the regulator first. If there is none, that is the finding.
