Shoosmiths Guide to the new FCA Consumer Duty CP21/36
We are working with clients to help them have a clear understanding of the requirements outlined in the recent FCA consultation paper on the new Consumer Duty. In our latest guide, we consider the impact on the financial services sector and how we can support you in successfully implementing the Consumer Duty at every stage of your business process.
With the FCA intending to finalise its rules on the Consumer Duty by 31 July 2022, firms will be expected to implement this in full by 30 April 2023. In view of this, all firms connected with the provision of financial services need to have a clear understanding as to the extent to which they may be affected by the introduction of the new regime.
