Independent Assurance and UK Regulatory Excellence
A Section 166 (s166) review is a critical supervisory tool used by the FCA and PRA to gain an objective assessment of a firm’s operations. At Complyport, we believe these investigations should not be viewed solely as a response to regulatory pressure, but as a strategic opportunity to “get it right” and proactively mitigate the risk of future enforcement action.
With over 25 years of experience and a track record of conducting hundreds of these reviews, our methodology ensures that firms emerge with a more resilient framework and a clear, defensible path toward long-term regulatory standing within the UK.
Appointed to the FCA/PRA Skilled Person Panel (8 Lots)
Our status as a premier regulatory partner is validated by our official appointment to the FCA/PRA Skilled Person Panel across eight specialised lots. This enables us to provide independent, regulator-approved expertise across the full spectrum of the UK’s regulatory perimeter:
Comprehensive Support: Before, During and After
