It has been a year of rebalancing for the UK financial services regulators. They have embraced the growth agenda by streamlining rules and promising a "smarter" approach, while making clear that enforcement remains firmly on the table. In practice, that has meant fewer, faster and more targeted investigations, together with a greater readiness to act in public.
In this webinar Calum Burnett, Sarah Hitchins and Marc Teasdale will:
• analyse enforcement and interventions data from the past year for key themes and trends
• share insights into how the FCA and the PRA are currently running their enforcement investigations
• consider the FCA's more transparent approach to enforcement, including Enforcement Watch and its use of publicity powers in practice
• examine the potential impact of recent challenges to FCA and PRA decisions
• highlight key issues and current areas of focus for the FCA and the PRA from an enforcement and interventions perspective, including: the Consumer Duty and financial crime; and
• look ahead to the next year to predict future areas of focus for the FCA and the PRA.
This webinar will be of interest to anyone in Legal, Compliance, Risk and Investigations teams at UK financial services firms who helps to manage internal and regulatory investigations. We look forward to welcoming you.
