FCA’s latest Handbook Notice confirms several rule amendments, including:
- changes to DEPP and EG to explain the status of industry codes of conduct that FCA has formally recognised;
- changes to several parts of the Handbook including SYSC and COBS in respect of the IDD, to ensure professional firms regulated by FCA meet similar requirements to those imposed on those professional firms regulated by their industry body; and
- changes to BCOBS to fine tune the rules on firms making information about current account services available to consumers.
