It is the vaguest and the shortest of all sections of the FCA handbook, and therin lies a trap. The trap is that both these qualities can be weaponised and used against you.
Consider the start of the training rules – in TC1.1.3 G and the grand opening line
“The competent employees rule is the main requirement relating to the competence of employees.”
This takes you to SYSC 5.1.1 R and you get
“A firm (other than a common platform firm) must employ personnel with the skills, knowledge and expertise necessary for the discharge of the responsibilities allocated to them.”
And, as far as the FCA are concerned, the less they add to that the more they can rely on principles, and the 12 principles for business is in effect the FCA rule book. See https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/PRIN/2/1.html
