Sales & Service: a new warning from the FCA

>> Event Overview

Earlier this year, the FCA published its Thematic Review of the general insurance distribution chain. The FCA concluded that as business models have evolved and distribution chains have become more complex, the potential for customer harm has significantly increased. The FCA is issuing an immediate call to action to all general insurance firms.

In this session we will look at the key findings and recommendations from the FCA´s Thematic Review and discuss the FCA´s expectations and next steps.

>> Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Identify the key findings from the FCA´s Thematic Review of the general insurance distribution chain.
• Recognise the practices identified as creating potential for customer harm.
• Implement a strategy to meet the FCA´s expectations as set out in the Thematic Review.
