Complyport is proud to announce its reappointment to the FCA & PRA Skilled Persons Panel. Following a rigorous tender process, Complyport has been selected across 8 distinct, critical Lots (regulatory categories) underscoring our commitment to regulatory excellence.
Validating Technical Depth and Specialisation
This reappointment is more than a mere credential. It is a validation of Complyport’s 25-year track record in navigating the complexities of the UK’s regulatory landscape. The Skilled Persons Panel, established under Section 166 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, serves as a primary tool for regulators to obtain an independent, expert view of a firm’s activities or internal controls.
Our appointment to 8 critical regulatory Lots reflects the depth of our practitioner-led expertise and our consistent ability to meet the exacting standards of both the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA).
Comprehensive Coverage Across 8 Key Lots
Our appointment spans the most critical areas of modern regulatory oversight, ensuring we can support firms through the full spectrum of supervisory priorities:
- Lot B: Governance, Accountability & Culture
- Lot C: Controls & Risk Management Frameworks
- Lot D: Conduct of Business
- Lot E: Financial Crime
- Lot I: Prudential (FCA Solo-Regulated)
- Lot J: ICT & Cyber Risk Resilience
- Lot M: Trade & Transaction Reporting
- Lot T: Risk / Risk Management
By maintaining a presence across these diverse categories, ranging from the operational resilience requirements of ICT & Cyber Risk to the technical intricacies of Trade & Transaction Reporting, Complyport offers firms a holistic, “one-stop” solution for both reactive interventions and proactive health checks.
The Complyport Advantage: Navigating Section 166 with Confidence
A Section 166 review is often one of the most demanding periods a regulated firm will face. Our approach is designed to bridge the gap between stringent regulatory expectations and commercial reality.
“Our focus is not merely on identifying gaps, but on providing practical, outcome-focused remediation that reduces the risk of further regulatory action and strengthens a firm’s long-term operational resilience.”
With over 1,500 successful authorisations and 1,000+ active clients, Complyport combines
the scale of a major consultancy with the agility of a specialist firm. We undertake over 200 thematic reviews annually, providing us with an unparalleled, “real-time” view of the regulator’s current areas of focus.
Proactive Readiness: Beyond the Panel
While our appointment to the official panel allows the FCA and PRA to engage us directly, many firms choose to engage Complyport proactively. By conducting “pre-Section 166” reviews or independent audits, firms can identify and remediate potential issues before they escalate into formal supervisory interventions.
Whether you are facing a specific regulatory challenge or seeking to enhance your internal
control framework, Complyport’s blend of proprietary RegTech and deep technical expertise ensures your compliance remains a pillar of your business success, rather than a hurdle to it.
