FCA Regulatory Compliance Monitoring Plan Requirements and Us

Compliance Monitoring As a Service

Assistance with your FCA compliance monitoring plan has two essential roles. This is both advising on and monitoring of compliance issues.

Firms should have a comprehensive risk-based monitoring plan. The plan should identify the regulatory risks which exist, measure these relative to impact and likelihood, identify priorities and document risk mitigation activities. Mitigation measures often take the form of undertaking regular monitoring of the risks identified. The plan should evidence how your firm manages its risks relative to treating its customers fairly. It is essential you have a strong compliance monitoring plan template and risk methodology.

uk compliance monitoring planThe compliance monitoring plan should establish what areas will be tested, how they will be tested, how frequently this will occur and who needs to get involved. The plan should be reviewed regularly, at the very least annually and be signed off by senior management. It should also be proactive and interactive i.e. be flexible enough to adapt to new risks identified, regulatory developments and changes to existing risk profiles. Records should be maintained of monitoring carried out and including any actions agreed to improve the effectiveness of systems and controls, and who should progress or implement these upgrades.
