Covered in this Briefing Note:

In April, the FCA published its Business Plan for 2020/2021. This plan differs quite significantly from those released in previous years, as a large portion of it is focused on immediate responses to COVID-19.

The document explains what the FCA is doing to protect consumers and the market in the short-term, whilst also outlining the FCA’s medium-term goals and ongoing cross-cutting priorities, including with regard to financial crime.

In its latest briefing note, Themis analyses the revised Business Plan and draws out implications for regulated businesses.
