The FCA has published a new webpage containing information about investment
firms which may continue to comply with CRD III (i.e. firms subject to the
BIPRU prudential sourcebook for Banks, Building Societies and Investment Firms)
rules from 1 January 2014, rather than moving to CRD IV (IFPRU the prudential
sourcebook for investment firms and the Capital Requirements Regulation).
The webpage details which firm types qualify to remain on CRD III/BIPRU rules
as well as the procedural details about how to vary any necessary permission
with related forms.
