Webinar Background

On 5th March 2024, we hosted our Prudential Webinar, focussed on Capital Markets. This webinar looked at what's coming down the regulatory track for 2024.

2023 was a busy year for Investment Firms in terms of keeping on top of their prudential and regulatory reporting requirements. We have worked with numerous firms helping them with:

Assessments of the adequacy of financial resources (capital and liquidity)
Refining their regulatory reporting processes
Developing robust risk and harm analysis frameworks
Enhancing stress testing and recovery plans
Responding to FCA feedback in respect of wind-down planning
Developing more efficient group and capital structures

Looking towards what's to come in 2024, we thought it would be useful to put together a webinar that will:

highlight the key prudential initiatives and reforms hitting firms and compliance departments in 2024;
to share what we believe are key FCA priorities and any common themes we are seeing; and
to help enable participants to earmark resources to prepare for regulatory initiatives in good order.
