Action follows investigation conducted in co-operation with the Insurance Authority of the UAE
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has fined Andrew Grimes, a former Senior Executive Officer (SEO) of a DFSA Authorised Firm $52,500 (Dh192,675) and imposed a restriction preventing him from performing any function in connection with the provision of Financial Services in or from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), wam reported on Wednesday.

This action follows an investigation conducted in co-operation with the Insurance Authority of the UAE which found that, from January 2014 to July 2014, Mr Grimes: - was knowingly concerned in undertaking Insurance Intermediation activities which contravened DFSA legislation; - failed to take reasonable care to ensure that the business for which he was responsible complied with applicable DIFC legislation; and - misled the DFSA.

From April, 2013 to September, 2014, Grimes was the SEO of a DFSA Authorised Firm that carries on the Financial Service of Insurance Intermediation. During this time, the firm was restricted under DFSA Rules from intermediating a Contract of Insurance in the UAE unless the risk is situated in the DIFC or the contract is one of re-insurance.

The DFSA found that Grimes was actively involved in providing prohibited Insurance Intermediation services.

Further, as the SEO, Grimes was ultimately responsible for the day-to-day management, supervision and control of the firm's activities and he should have ensured that such prohibited activities did not occur. He also failed to ensure that the firm's customers were on-boarded properly as Clients.

Grimes also provided false and misleading information to the DFSA in April 2014 by stating that the firm had not intermediated any direct insurance (as opposed to re-insurance) in the UAE when that in fact was not true.

Ian Johnston, Chief Executive of the DFSA said: "The DFSA expects SEOs of Authorised Firms to meet their obligations and perform their duties to the standards required of them. Grimes did not do so and made matters worse by failing to deal with the DFSA in a frank and open manner.

This action also demonstrates that the DFSA works closely with our colleagues at other financial regulators to address misconduct that affects our respective jurisdictions. I am grateful to the UAE Insurance Authority for its co-operation and assistance in this matter".

The DFSA previously took a separate action against the firm after taking into consideration its initiative to self-report the misconduct to the DFSA, the steps it took to remediate its deficiencies, including voluntarily replacing Grimes as SEO and for co-operating fully with the DFSA's investigation.
