FCA announces details of the ‘Directory’

The FCA has published PS 19/7. This Policy Statement sets out the final rules on the Directory, a new public register for checking the details of key individuals working in the financial services. 

The Directory will include information available through the Financial Services Register (The FS Register), as well as information about other individuals, including those performing roles that will no longer be made public on Register following the introduction of the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SM&CR).

This information will be made public through a newly designed user interface that is intended to be clear and easy to use.  

Publishing this information on an ongoing basis is intended to help protect consumers and firms by making it easier to check whether individuals work for an authorised firm. It will also support the FCA, law enforcement, professional bodies and other regulators to monitor the market, build intelligence and target interventions.

Solo regulated firms (firms regulated only by the FCA) will be able to start submitting the required data from 9 December 2019 and will have to have completed submission by 9 December 2020.

Our View

Having originally intended to remove advisers from the FCA register, the outcry from inside and outside the industry around public access to information on advisers and firms, largely catalysed by the British Steel pension debacle, has resulted in a welcome change of heart at the FCA. We think this was an appropriate decision and the new Directory will be a useful source of information for the public.

Action Required By You

  • Add the submission of required data to your SM&CR action plan from 9 December 2019;
  • Contact your usual consultant or contact ATEB if you have any queries.
