You may come across some questions within the Retail Mediation Activities Return (RMAR) that refers to the “last reporting date”. If you are completing the RMAR for the very first time, you should treat this date as the date you became authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to carry out regulated activities as your ‘last reporting date’, except where otherwise indicated (e.g. in sections E relating to Professional Indemnity Insurance and Section H – Conduct of Business).
