All 52,000 firms that provide regular regulatory submissions in Gabriel will need to use RegData in the future. The FCA is moving firms and their users to RegData in stages, based on their reporting requirements.
To prepare for the move, the FCA has set out the key steps firms will go through as they move to RegData, as well as a range of online resources to guide firms when using the platform.
