REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that CCS is failing to
satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied
that CCS is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances,
including whether CCS managed its business in such a way as to ensure that its
affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.

7.
This is because CCS has failed to comply with the regulatory requirements to
submit the Return and pay the Overdue Balance. CCS has not been open and co-
operative in all its dealings with the Authority, in that it has failed to respond
adequately to the Authority's repeated requests for it to submit the Return and
pay the Overdue Balance, and has thereby failed to comply with Principle 11 of
the Authority's Principles for Businesses and to satisfy the Authority that it is
ready, willing and organised to comply with the requirements and standards
under the regulatory system.

8.
These failures, which are significant in the context of CCS’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that CCS has failed to manage its business in such a way as
to ensure that its affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent manner, that it is
not a fit and proper person, and that it is therefore failing to satisfy the Threshold

Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which CCS has had a
permission.
