Your Data in Focus: How IFAs Should Handle the FCA's Latest Data Request

On 30 June 2025, the FCA issued a major data request to Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs).

While we anticipate that the scope of the request largely covers information that should be readily accessible for most firms, it is essential to look beyond simple compliance and consider the regulatory intent and strategic implications of this data collection exercise.

This webinar provides practical guidance on how to respond efficiently and accurately, alongside expert insight into how the FCA may use this data, what it reveals about supervisory priorities, and how it connects to risk management, governance and Consumer Duty obligations.

Who is this webinar for? 
Compliance professionals, advisers, directors, and operations leads at directly authorised IFA firms.

Agenda 
 • Overview of the FCA data request content and structure 
 • Practical tips for data collation and timely submission 
 • Interpreting the potential regulatory motivations 
 • Aligning Management Information (MI) with Consumer Duty 
 • What firms can do now to prepare for possible follow-up scrutiny
