On 18 March 2027, the FCA’s new reporting rules for material third-party arrangements will come into full force.
These incoming mandates are not a standalone checklist. They form a critical pillar of the financial services regulators’ broader operational resilience framework, directly complementing the new critical third-party regime, and they build on existing rules contained in SUP 15.3.8, SYSC 8.1.12, and SYSC 13.9.2.
Following the consultation period and the publication of the final rules on 18 March 2026, firms were granted a strict one-year implementation window. That runway is disappearing fast.
Presented by barrister Charlotte Pope-Williams, The New FCA Incident & Third-Party Reporting Rules: Preparing for 2027 is a 45-minute webinar which gives you the exact blueprint needed to audit your current vendor frameworks, close compliance gaps, and insulate your institution from severe regulatory interventions before the deadline strikes. It is available to stream from 28th January and will include:
- A broad overview of what the new rules require and how the new rules differ from and build on the existing rules;
- A look at which firms are in-scope for the new rules and how the rules impact those firms that come within the ambit of more than one UK regulator, such as those firms regulated by the Bank of England, PRA, and FCA; and
- An exploration of how the new rules fit into the broader national and international operational resilience framework
Register today to ensure your team is fully prepared, audit-ready, and compliant ahead of the 18 March 2027 deadline.
