Independent Assurance and Regulatory Excellence
A Section 166 (s166) review is a powerful tool used by the FCA and PRA to obtain an independent view of a firm’s activities. At Complyport, we believe these reviews should not be viewed merely as a response to regulatory scrutiny, but as a vital opportunity for firms to “get it right” and proactively avoid further enforcement action.
Having conducted hundreds of these reviews, our approach is designed to help firms emerge from the process with a more resilient framework and a clear path toward long-term regulatory standing.
