Regards Duchess Drivers original post - is it still the case that restricted FI's must be supervised when carrying out reval's/conversion's, yet a newly qualified CRI can do the needful unsupervised?? The example I would give is this - 172 syndicate member with newly qualified FI(r) rating is asked to do an SEP reval for one of his fellow syndicate member's but has to be 'supervised' to do so. Yet someone with newly minted CRI rating could do it 'unsupervised'??
Almost begs the question of whether its worth(if feesable) applying for a CRI rating at the same time as aplying for the FI(r) rating.
Any thoughts?
