RMA-J issue for firms without RAG7 permissions.

Update to SECTION J: data required for calculation of fees (RMA-J)
Changes for firms with a Reporting Period End Date on or after 25 March 2012
The FSA and FOS measures for Investment mediation and Life & Pensions mediation (fee blocks A.12 and A.13) have changed from approved persons to income for firms with a Reporting Period End Date on or after 25 March 2012. We have updated the RMA-J to reflect the changes.
Update to Client Money and Asset Return (CMAR)
We have corrected the validation rule error that developed in data element 20A of the CMAR. This correction comes into force for the March CMAR reporting period (1 March to 31 March 2012) - this is the CMAR that must be submitted by 24 April 2012. We have updated our FAQs on the CMAR to reflect this change. Firms should not resubmit previous CMARs (October 2011 to February 2012) to correct this validation rule error.
Enhanced security option for Principal Users
GABRIEL now allows the principal user to set and maintain two security options for password expiry and user inactivity. The default is to disable the options so that they do not apply to the firm. The security options are:
Enforce automatic password reset after 30, 60, 90 or 120 Days
Disable users who have not logged in for 90, 120, 180 or 365 Days
Note: The password expiry will apply to all firm users, including the principal user and will prompt the user to reset their password. The user inactivity setting will not apply to the principal user and will change the firm user status from enabled to disabled. The principal user can re-enable a user who has been disabled.
The strongest rules apply to users who have access to more that one firm.
Liquidity regime
Reporting over UK bank holidays
For reporting purposes, bank holidays make no difference. If a firm has flows on the day in question, then that is when they should be reported. The only exception is in relation to weekend flows, which are reported on either the previous Friday or the following Monday depending on how the time buckets fall. Further guidance is available on the FSA website.
In terms of submission due dates, GABRIEL accommodates bank holidays and the due date will be shifted to the next immediate working day.
Full information on the Liquidity regime can be found on the Liquidity web pages.
GABRIEL operating hours:
Monday - Friday: 8am-10pm
Saturday - Sunday: 8am-5pm
Support for GABRIEL is provided by the Customer Contact Centre Monday to Friday - 9am to 5pm except Bank Holidays.
