At a hearing of the IFoA's Adjudication Panel on 29 May, the respondent, Mr Nishanthan Gunasingam, FIA, faced allegations of misconduct following a conviction at Westminster Magistrates' Court for outraging public decency. The Panel also considered a second allegation of failing to disclose the conviction to the IFoA.
The Panel determined that the respondent's conviction and the facts of that conviction as well as his failure to notify the IFoA of his conviction amounted to a prima facie case of misconduct and accordingly invited the respondent to accept that there had been misconduct and the following sanctions: a reprimand and a fine of £1,000.
