Bitesize Session: Non Financial Misconduct Rules have landed!

Are you ready for the biggest change to FCA conduct rules in a decade? The FCA has gone ahead with its plans to extend regulation to cover bad behaviour, even when it occurs outside the workplace.

The new rules come into force in September…

This is not just a rule change; it is a cultural shift. Serious misbehavior such as bullying at work, may now go on a persons record and be reportable to the FCA. The new rules also catch some behaviour outside the office.

September 2026 may seem a long way off, but you should prepare now, don’t wait until it’s too late!

What we will cover in your time with us:

• Recap on existing rules – a review of the current Conduct Rules
• What does Non-Financial Misconduct mean?
• How these new rules differ from and coincide with existing Conduct Rules
• Why the FCA introduced these rules
• Who it applies to in your firm
• When it applies – Understanding the activities and circumstances where these rules apply
• Getting ready – Understand what you need to do to be ready for the September 2026 deadline

This session is specifically designed for individuals responsible for implementing the Conduct Rules under the SMCR, including:

• SMF Role Holders
• Business Strategy Leaders
• Risk Managers
• Compliance Officers
