FCA Regulatory Round Up - Hot Topics with Robert Bell

Introduction

The Financial Conduct Authority (‘FCA’) continues to develop its regulatory strategy, clearly shifting towards a stronger, more robust regulator.

Firm and senior manager applications for authorisation are now given greater levels of scrutiny, a new ‘early and high growth’ oversight team is in place and, of course, the Consumer Duty continues to make headlines.

This new virtual classroom seminar will explore the expected work of the FCA throughout 2025, highlighting their current expectations of firms and senior managers.
