Priorities

The Panel’s aim is to provide early and effective practitioner input into the FCA’s policy development from a smaller firm perspective. Within the overall objective of considering the impact of regulation on smaller firms it has identified five priority areas of work for the coming year:

To help the FCA develop its understanding of how smaller businesses contribute positively to a strong, competitive market
To support the development of good communications from the FCA and smaller businesses
To support the FCA’s priorities and ensure future regulation is clear, transparent, and fit for purpose
To help the FCA understand the cost of regulation for smaller firms
Supporting the FCA’s Transformation programme
