If you’re writing the RE1 exam in 2025, take note: the FSCA has updated several compliance checkpoints for Key Individuals.
What’s New:
- Increased scrutiny on FSP internal controls.
- Stronger alignment with POPIA and TCF (Treating Customers Fairly).
- Expectations for Key Individuals to implement tech-enabled compliance tracking.
Why It Matters: Key Individuals must now demonstrate systems thinking, risk mitigation, and real-world application of FAIS principles.
Our Recommendation: Our updated RE1 tutoring program includes POPIA alignment, risk-based oversight, and case-study walkthroughs.
