Workshop overview:

This interactive session provides an engaging introduction to the FCA’s Consumer Duty. We will break down the Duty into simple and practical terms and explore what it means for you, your firm, and your customers.

We will start by debating the bigger picture, why the Consumer Duty was introduced, and the FCA's expectations. The session will focus on the key principles and outcomes of the Duty, exploring how these apply in practice through debate and discussion. 

You will also explore the emerging best practices around embedding and evidence-based compliance with the duty.

This session will provide the opportunity to share learnings and discuss practical steps to support compliance with the duty.

Learning outcomes:

By attending this session, delegates will be able to:

  • explain what the Consumer Duty is all about and why it matters
  • describe the new Consumer Duty principle, three cross-cutting rules and four outcomes and what these mean for firms
  • discuss and explore recent Consumer Duty implementation and emerging best practices
  • consider the effectiveness of your approach to identify risks that could lead to poor customer outcomes.
