What the House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee Means for FCA Policy & Your Firm

Introduction

Is your firm ready to engage with regulatory developments proposed at short notice that may have a significant business impact?

Firms that failed to engage with the Committee’s work on the FCA’s naming and shaming proposals missed the chance to shape the conversation. Find out how your compliance team can pre-emptively address FCA concerns in policy and procedure and explore the questions your board should be asking in light of fundamental regulatory issues raised by the House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee.

With the use of case studies, this webinar explores what the Committee has done so far, with a focus on the circumstances leading up to and the content of its report on the FCA’s ‘naming and shaming’ proposals (CP24/2).

Through case studies, you will gain a clear understanding of the House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee’s role, influence, and the broader implications for UK regulatory oversight, including how to anticipate similar interventions and what your firm should be doing now to respond.
