Upcoming changes to the FCA’s outsourcing rules: how to prepare
Published 3 March 2025
Introduction
The FCA is currently consulting on changes to the incident reporting process and expanding third-party supplier reporting requirements. The consultation paper is open to feedback until 13 March, with final rules expected in the second half of this year. This consultation, coupled with the new rules on direct regulation of designated critical third parties, suggests the FCA is focused on tightening up the operational resilience of the UK financial services sector.
