Can someone that has been in prison for fraud

[Gravitygirl]

be regulated by Financial services authority and say, have a job dealing with money at an insurance company?

Long story about someone linked to us who we believe is lying

Any help appreciated?

dunno about insurance company general rules but in similar industries, you're asked to declare that kind of thing on an annual basis as can raise issues with employment contract. Also if the sentence is spent , may not be required to disclose

Re FSA - is this person actually registered themselves or working for a registered entity? I think if you're in a regulated post , you must disclose the conviction to the FSA and then it depends on what kind of conviction it was.

Check registration here

here Probably depends on the actual role but many are excluded for "unspent" convictions. If spent probably less cut and dried.

Slightly different but someone I used to work with went to prison for a huge fraud.

Within a year of coming out of prison (so imagine convictions were unspent) he was head finance officer for county council! I'm guessing he didn't disclose his convictions to the council and made up his CV/references.

The financial institution I work for would not employ anyone with a fraud conviction. I would imagine it's the same for others

dh thinks is it unlikely a financial institution would knowingly employ someone with such a history - were something to go amiss as a result they would be liable.

Thanks , I reckon the wool is being pulled over a few peoples eyes here.

Am I right in thinking that this means his conviction would be spent if it was a while ago, therefore he can work in a finacial profession, or is the exceptions order a life long thing?

I would like to be a bit clearer on this situation, but I guess if this person has lied and dodged questions would it come back to haunt them later, will this person get caught out ( im hoping so)

Sorry if this sounds vague...

Thankyou
