The FCA’s proposals for a new Consumer Duty hold far-reaching implications for financial services providers across the different markets. The Consumer Duty isn’t about ticking boxes on a checklist; it is about embedding the customer perspective at the heart of your business and business model.

This interactive workshop will focus on the practical actions that you can undertake to prepare your organisation and the board for the incoming Consumer Duty.

You can expect to develop the new skills and perspectives required to embed the customer perspective and demonstrate evidence of this to the regulator. For example, the focus on showing the distribution of customer outcomes in MI and demonstrating effective customer communications.

The practical training will focus on how to apply and embed the relevant tools in your organisation, such as behavioural economics, data analytics and science, and business model analysis.

We will discuss how the proposals might change in the Policy Statement, and the nuances of the handbook text versus the guidance.

Learning outcomes:

  • To be informed and knowledgeable about what the Consumer Duty requires of your organisation
  • To understand the context of the Consumer Duty and practical implications for your organisation
  • To be able to identify which tools are required in which circumstances
  • To be empowered to use these tools in your organisations
  • To be able to confidently evaluate how well your organisation does against each of the Four Outcomes
  • To be able to identify the practical actions required in order to meet the FCA’s new expectations
