UK financial advisers, paraplanners and advice quality reviewers
The difference you can make
What you will work towards
- 01Identify a publication's status, date and scope before using it.
- 02Translate a relevant finding into a proportionate evidence check.
- 03Define an owner, review date and evidence of whether a change worked.
Your route through the activity
- 01Date it before you debate it
First establish what kind of document you are reading.
- 02Ask what is happening here
Use external findings to pose better questions about your own work.
- 03Turn a finding into a controlled change
An action should be small enough to own and clear enough to test.
- 04Close the learning loop
An action being done is different from an action working.

Read the primary sources
- FCA: Ongoing financial advice services multi-firm review ↗
Dated worked example, not a claim that this is the latest regulatory update. Check subsequent publications and the applicable rules before acting.
- FCA: PS22/9 - A new Consumer Duty ↗
Includes later updates. Demonstrates why an original publication date alone does not establish currency.
