Former FSA adviser Ian Reynolds has joined Beachcroft Wansbroughs Consulting.
Reynolds was at the FSA for four years, during which time he advised the FSA on aspects of prudential supervision for insurers.
Reynolds also chairs the Institute of Actuaries' Professional Standards Communication Committee and is visiting professor in the Department of Actuarial Science and Statistics at City University.
Lord Hunt of the Wirral, chairman of Beachcroft Wansbroughs Consulting, said: "Since we launched Beachcroft Wansbroughs Consulting last July, we have seen a rapidly growing demand for advice from financial services firms who need to understand the implications of proposed new rules and regulations, as well as how to comply."
"We are delighted to announce Ian's appointment. He brings a wealth of experience which will be invaluable in today's climate where insurance companies, large and small, general and life, are facing particularly challenging times."
