The FCA has published their policy statement on Improving the AR Regime (PS22/11) giving firms a 4 month window to implement the requirements.

The key outcomes the FCA are seeking:

1. Principals understand their responsibilities in relation to ARs, have stronger and better oversight of, and take more effective responsibility for, their ARs.
2. The FCA can better challenge firms with, and those looking to appoint, ARs.
3. Principals address problems with their ARs that are, or have the potential to, cause harm to consumers or markets.
4. Consumers can access better‑quality information on principals and ARs and make good decisions when choosing products or services
