The New FCA Incident & Third-Party Reporting Rules: Preparing for 2027

Introduction

On 18 March 2027, the FCA’s new reporting rules for material third-party arrangements will come into full force.

These incoming mandates are not a standalone checklist. They form a critical pillar of the UK’s financial services regulators’ broader operational resilience framework, directly complementing the new critical third-party regime and they build on existing rules contained in SUP 15.3.8, SYSC 8.1.12 and SYSC 13.9.2.

Following the consultation period and the publication of the final rules on 18 March 2026, firms were granted a strict one-year implementation window. That runway is disappearing fast. This course gives you the exact blueprint needed to audit your current vendor frameworks, close compliance gaps and insulate your institution from severe regulatory interventions before the deadline strikes.

Register for this course today to ensure your team is fully prepared, audit-ready and compliant ahead of the 18 March 2027 deadline.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

• A broad overview of what the new rules require and how the new rules differ from and build on the existing rules;
• Which firms are in-scope for the new rules and how the rules impact those firms that come within the ambit of more than one UK regulator e.g. those firms regulated by the Bank of England, PRA and FCA; and
• How the new rules fit into the broader national and international operational resilience framework
