REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that Mr Pakyari is
failing to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not
satisfied that Mr Pakyari is a fit and proper person having regard to all the
circumstances, including whether Mr Pakyari managed his business in such a way
as to ensure that his affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.

7.
This is because Mr Pakyari has failed to comply with the regulatory requirements
to submit the Return and pay the Overdue Balance. Mr Pakyari has not been open
and co-operative in all his dealings with the Authority, in that he has failed to
respond adequately to the Authority's repeated requests for him to submit the
Return and pay the Overdue Balance, and has thereby failed to comply with
Principle 11 of the Authority's Principles for Businesses and to satisfy the
Authority that he is ready, willing and organised to comply with the requirements
and standards under the regulatory system.

8.
These failures, which are significant in the context of Mr Pakyari’s suitability, lead
the Authority to conclude that Mr Pakyari has failed to manage his business in
such a way as to ensure that his affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent
manner, that he is not a fit and proper person, and that he is therefore failing to
satisfy the Threshold Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which Mr
Pakyari has had a permission.
