Course description
Compliance Monitoring - The Impact of the Consumer Duty (Live Online)
The Consumer Duty formally imposes an actionable duty on regulated firms to deliver good outcomes for retail customers with a focus on products and services, price and value, consumer understanding and consumer support. These build on previous FCA initiatives such as Treating Customers Fairly and the Conduct Risk Framework.
The Duty is inextricably linked to these non-rules-based obligations which rely on subjective tests of “fairness” rather than objective legal tests. This means compliance will always be subjected to a test of hindsight if the FCA decides to take action.
With the FCA highlighting gaps in firm's implementation plans and a growing realisation in the compliance community of the tight deadline and the complexity involved, this course aims to help firms focus on the impact of the Duty on their monitoring programmes and will likely raise questions and challenges for your current implementation plan.

THE COURSE AND PRESENTATION WAS BOTH ENJOYABLE AND ENGAGING.
I have attended a number of CTP courses over the last few years presented by Gary Pitts and they've always been insightful and thought provoking.
