An outsourced compliance function for growing regulated firms

The challenge

Smaller and growing FCA-authorised firms struggle to keep pace with constant regulatory change and FCA supervisory expectations without the cost and key-person risk of a full in-house compliance team.

Regulatory context

Ongoing FCA conduct and SYSC obligations, Consumer Duty, and a continuously shifting supervisory agenda that firms must monitor and act on month to month.
