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

7.
This is because Mr Greenwood has failed to comply with the regulatory
requirements to submit the Return and pay the Overdue Balance. Mr Greenwood
has not been open and co-operative in all his dealings with the Authority, in that
he has failed to respond adequately to the Authority's repeated requests for him
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 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 Greenwood’s suitability,
lead the Authority to conclude that Mr Greenwood 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 Greenwood has had a permission.
