Regulatory Timeline: Operational Resilience
Status: Ongoing
Regulator: FCA, PRA and Bank of England
In July 2018, the Bank of England, PRA and FCA released a joint Discussion Paper titled “Building the UK financial sector’s operational resilience.” The Bank of England, FCA and PRA have now issued their responses to feedback and Policy Statements. Firms have until 31st March 2022 to identify their important business services, set impact tolerances for the maximum tolerable disruption and carry out mapping and testing to a level of sophistication necessary to do so. Firms must also have identified any vulnerabilities in their operational resilience.
This timeline provides key dates in the regulatory calendar and links to ICSR articles and webinars on the subject. If you would like to discuss any aspects of Operational Resilience, please contact us.
