Fit & Proper FSP License (Fit & Proper/Operational Ability)
Yusuf supervises Ayanda, a newly-appointed representative who has not yet met the full competence requirements. Which of the following is NOT a legitimate part of Yusuf's supervisory responsibilities?
RE5 practice question with a worked answer. This is one of hundreds of FSCA RE5 questions in the RegulatoryExams question bank.
- a) Allowing Ayanda to sign off, in his own name, on the suitability of advice without any review.Correct
- b) Reviewing and signing off on the advice Ayanda gives to clients.
- c) Carrying out appropriate post-transaction sampling of Ayanda’s work.
- d) Observing a selection of Ayanda’s client meetings.
Why this is the answer
The point of supervision is that a competent supervisor takes responsibility for the supervisee's work — reviewing and signing off advice, sampling transactions, and observing meetings. Letting the supervisee independently sign off suitability with no review defeats supervision and is not a permitted supervisory practice.
