What is the Consumer Duty principle as introduced by the FCA?

The Consumer Duty principle is a comprehensive framework introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that came into effect in the UK on 31 July 2023. It places greater emphasis on firms' responsibilities to ensure good customer outcomes throughout the product and customer lifecycles. This includes aspects like evidence of compliance, alignment with Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR), financial promotions, sales file reviews, and governance.

Protecht ERM is an enterprise risk management platform that provides a comprehensive solution for meeting the UK's Consumer Duty requirements. It offers features like centralised evidence collection, real-time reporting, and customizability to align with your firm's specific Consumer Duty needs. The platform also enables end-to-end visibility of products and customer lifecycles, allowing you to monitor and manage product risks effectively.
