There are only 37 days to New Year’s Day - the date by which affected firms must have implemented the changes needed to meet the regulatory obligations of the new Investment Firms Prudential Regime (IFPR).
It’s important to make urgent progress as IFPR introduces significant and complex new obligations in areas that include capital, liquidity, governance, risk management, remuneration and regulatory reporting. To help firms assess their current position, we have produced this simple IFPR Checklist:
