From the FCA's 2015/16 annual report:
- As at 31 March 2016 we had 3,337 staff
- Staff turnover was 11.5%
- Improved our ranking in Stonewall’s Top 100 Employers from 82 to 40
- Delivered 6,400 training days to our staff
Given that they have also taken years to approve some of the peer-to-peer platforms I don't think getting FCA approval is simply a rubber-stamping excercise.
How reassuring. The problem is that a lot of companies/organisations that boast about the amount of education their staff receive invariably inflate those figures by making their staff book things as "education" that are a whole load of complete tosh. What! Do you not consider learning to juggle and other motivational activities to be 'education'? Think I still have my corporate branded balls somewhere ... all three of them ... though my ability to juggle them never really passed muster. Still it was a day out.

Ah but you don't even get a day out these days. Instead you get to book some corporate waffling (eg quarterly briefings/results) that you'd have previously been expected to view if you had time as "education"

Anyone concerned about the auditing of Zopa might like to consider Barclays, a shining example of financial probity which is fully audited. This investment has the added entertainment of a prosecution for alleged fraud.

P2p platforms not independently audited - Ponzi Scheme risk?

Quite right, but Barclay's various alleged sins have nothing to do with the accuracy of their audited accounts but there is the fun of picking the right P2P platform - risk v reward...

And actually 6400 training days for 3300+ staff is fewer than 2 per person, which is 40% of what I was tasked to deliver for my staff year in year out some 20 years ago... (but yes, abseiling down cliffs in the lake district counted as 'team building training' even then .. with your underlings at the top with sharp implements, they would, wouldn't they .. ).

I wonder if their training is done by Common Purpose.

Guys, remember that not all EU countries have the same government rules for how to audit p2p companies.
