Roundtable discussion with Sarah Pritchard, deputy chief executive, FCA

It has now been more than two years since the introduction of the secondary competitiveness and growth objective for the FCA and PRA. At this event we will discuss how the FCA has responded to this new framework; the progress made on the reform agenda; the balance between ‘sensible housekeeping’ and ‘de-regulation’; and the role of all stakeholders (including supervisors, politicians, and the industry) in rethinking their approach to risk.

We expect participants to be a combination of senior policy and regulation specialists, front line executives, and COOs / CROs with a UK focus.
