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 Mr McAdam is
failing to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not
satisfied that Mr McAdam is a fit and proper person having regard to all the
circumstances, including whether Mr McAdam managed his business in such a way
as to ensure that its affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.

7.
This is because Mr McAdam has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement
to submit the Return. Mr McAdam has not been open and co-operative in all his
dealings with the Authority, in that Mr McAdam has failed to respond adequately to
the Authority's repeated requests for him to submit the Return, and has thereby
failed to comply with Principle 11 of the Authority's Principles for Businesses and to
satisfy the Authority that he 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 Mr McAdam’s suitability, lead
the Authority to conclude that Mr McAdam has failed to manage his business in
such a way as to ensure that his affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent
manner, that he is not a fit and proper person, and that he is therefore failing to
satisfy the Threshold Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which Mr
McAdam was granted a Part 4A permission.

DECISION MAKER

9.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made
by the Regulatory Decisions Committee.

IMPORTANT

10.
This Final Notice is given to Mr McAdam in accordance with section 390(1) of the
Act.
