We are delighted to announce that Pathlight Associates has been appointed to seven Lots on the new FCA and PRA Skilled Person Panel, reflecting the breadth of our regulatory expertise.

FSMA s166 reviews continue to play an important role in supervisory oversight.

A: Client Assets and Safeguarding
B: Governance, Accountability and Culture
C: Controls and Risk Management
D: Conduct of Business
E: Financial Crime
G: Prudential – Deposit Takers
J: ICT and Cyber

Our place on the ICT and Cyber Lot reflects our long standing close working relationship with ControlCase, global provider of certification, cybersecurity, and continuous compliance services.

Pathlight has also secured a place on the FCA’s panel of Business Consultancy providers. This reflects capability in areas such as strategy and transformation, operational excellence and resilience, organisational change and change management, and programme and project management.

CEO, John Higgins said: “A Skilled Person review is rarely welcome, but if conducted well, should be an opportunity to add value and strengthen a firm’s relationship with the regulator.

Drawing on years of direct engagement with the FCA and PRA, and deep industry experience, our teams tailor their approach to the specific needs of each firm.”
