PS26/2 – Essential preparations for March 2027

With PS26/2 due to take effect in March 2027, firms are approaching implementation from very different starting points, some already deep into interpretation and planning, others only beginning to consider what the policy will mean for them. That gap creates a real risk: firms that are behind may struggle to keep pace once formal requirements land, while those further ahead are already shaping the questions and approaches that will define good practice. This webinar offers a chance to close that gap. Drawing on insights from recent workshops on PS26/2, we'll share the questions firms are asking, the challenges they're running into, and the approaches some are already taking to prepare. This isn't a sales pitch, it's a thought leadership session designed to give you a clearer, shared understanding of the regulation, so you can walk away knowing where you stand and what to prioritise next. It's also the ideal grounding for our upcoming roundtables and workshops on this subject, which will go deeper into specific challenges and solutions.
