Employment/Non-Financial Misconduct

Market Briefing Operational Regulatory & Compliance

Online

21st October 2025 • 13.00 - 14.00

About this session

Tackling ‘toxic’ culture is a regulatory priority. The FCA is taking the guesswork out of what non-financial misconduct is reportable and from 1 September 2026 it is extending its rules to 37,000 additional non-bank entities including managing agents, underwriters and insurers.

In this briefing, we’ll be addressing what you need to know about the new rules on non-financial misconduct and the crossover of HR and regulatory issues, equipping you to understand the shifting landscape.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this session, delegates will be able to:

Identify Non-Financial Misconduct
Understand the obligation to report to the FCA
Appreciate the uncertainties until the consultation on the FCA NFM Guidance has concluded
Implement practical steps in the meantime to address workplace culture
