Why Firms Struggle

These common challenges leave firms exposed to regulatory action and customer harm.

πŸ“‹

Inconsistent Documentation

Advisers document replacement rationale differently, making file reviews inconsistent and audit responses painful.

βš–οΈ

Unclear Cost Comparisons

Without standardised templates, cost-benefit analysis varies wildly, failing to demonstrate fair value under Consumer Duty.

🎯

Reactive Compliance

Issues only surface during audits or complaints, when remediation is costly and reputational damage is done.

πŸ“Š

No MI or Oversight

Senior management can’t evidence oversight because there’s no consistent data capture or Board reporting framework.

⏱️

Time-Consuming Reviews

File checkers spend hours assessing each case because there’s no structured checklist aligned to regulatory requirements.

🚨

FCA Scrutiny Risk

FG12-16 remains a supervisory priority. Firms without robust frameworks face s.166 reviews and enforcement action.
