From 1 September 2026, the FCA’s final rules on non-financial misconduct will raise the bar on culture, accountability and governance. When the rules bite, how prepared are you for what happens next?
Joined by legal specialists from Mishcon de Reya, we had a rounded discussion on the compliance and governance considerations needed to avoid being caught short.
We discussed:
- What the FCA expects in practice – robust processes, together with fair and informed judgements.
- Where firms might be underestimating the challenge – using insights from our recent survey and work supporting clients.
- Problematic areas – identification of NFM, conduct outside the workplace, social media, notifications.
- What readiness looks like – practical steps to avoid being caught short.
