The "FCA Consumer Duty" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The FCA has introduced Consumer Duty rules for firms comprising a new Customer Principle that requires firms to act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers, cross-cutting rules under this Principle, and FCA expectations of outcomes under the new rules. These came into effect from 31 July 2023.

This course focuses on the new requirements that firms would need to follow to comply with the FCA regulations, the practical impacts, and the scope of products and services for firms within the UK and globally.

The course provides the key aspects the Consumer Duty principles and cross-cutting rules, expected outcomes, and explains the impact to firms through real-life scenarios for different customer bases and different products and services. The session covers the Sector based Consumer Duty obligations and likely challenges to be encountered by banks, lending and credit institutions, pension funds, investment, asset and fund managers, wealth managers, financial advisors, and insurance firms.

The workshop builds upon key lessons learnt in implementing FCA CASS and Conduct of Business (COB), MIFID II Investor Protection and Product Governance frameworks, SMCR and IFPR obligations, and explains how to leverage these for adherence to FCA Consumer Duty. It provides real-life industry examples of best practices, post-implementation issues, and successful remediation of customer interactions and customer outcomes.
