Increased scrutiny from the FCA and broader societal expectations have placed safeguarding and operational governance at the core of business management:
- FCA’s SMCR Regime – Emphasises personal accountability and governance structures, which every regulated business must understand.
- Safeguarding of Client Funds – With increased focus on electronic money institutions and payment service providers, safeguarding audits are now a regulatory priority.
- Cyber & Data Protection Risks – Courses should integrate GDPR awareness, data integrity policies, and vendor risk assessments.
- Resilience Testing – The FCA now expects firms to demonstrate financial and operational resilience through testing and contingency planning.
