Course overview:

The Regulatory Product Management and Governance agenda has always been important but with the implementation of Consumer Duty it has meant that the regulatory lens has never been more focused.

Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (PROD) regulation has always been about mitigating the risk of foreseeable consumer harm through the design and delivery of financial products and services - the same objective as the products and services consumer duty outcome.

The regulator has already stated that firms complying with PROD requirements will almost certainly comply with the products and services outcome requirements laid out in the Consumer Duty final guidance.

This workshop addresses the good governance of products and services therefore hitting both requirements.

Learning objectives:

  • To understand the requirement of FCA PROD sourcebook
  • To gain clarity around the Consumer Duty Product Service outcome and how to build this into your business cycle
