Answer in brief

The FSRA’s official website provides routes to relevant rules, forms, guidance and the public register. Use the source appropriate to the question being answered.[1]

01

Understanding the question

A rulebook describes requirements; an application form collects evidence; guidance explains an approach; a register records authorisation details. These documents should not be used interchangeably. Preserve the source title, URL and date when recording a conclusion.[1]
