Consumer Duty Compliance Resources

The Consumer Duty is a step change in regulatory compliance...

The Duty has been introduced due to a series of poor practices identified by the FCA such as unfair pricing, products and services which exploit customers' behavioural biases and a failure to communicate clearly with customers. The new standard requires firms to properly assess their products and services, communication with customers and support provisions against the three cross-cutting rules. It also ensures that firms undertake an assessment of the value customers receive from their products and services.

 

We have created a number of resources to assist firms getting ready for the regime from free-to-watch webinars to downloadable resource templates and tool-kits.

Consumer Duty Webinar

Our first, free webinar provides you with an overview of the Consumer Duty, detailing the reasons why it has been created, effects on PRIN, the cross-cutting rules, high-level overview of the four outcomes and a road-map to compliance.
