Problems encountered by firms in meeting the demanding Annex IV reporting requirements (SUP 16.18) has led the FCA to issue a further set of Q&As to assist firms and which:
- Highlight aspects of AIFMD reporting where questions have been misinterpreted by some AIFMS;
- Identify where AIFMs have provided inconsistent responses to connected questions; and
- Provided further information on the general use and functionality of GABRIEL
Q16 (page 10) may be of particular assistance as it concerns common errors or mistakes identified by the FCA.
