  • An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
  • Paul Barker (FRN 793674) is an AR of Audeo FS Limited (FRN 809508). When you use Paul Barker's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
