Consumer Duty

Since July 2023, firms have been required to demonstrate how they deliver good outcomes for consumers under the FCA’s Consumer Duty.

Whether you’re a motor finance provider, online furniture retailer or green energy installer, the Duty isn’t just about technical compliance, it’s about putting the customer at the heart of every decision.

Each year, boards must review, monitor and evidence how well their firm is meeting the four key outcomes.

The Challenge

Many firms treated the first year as a box‑ticking exercise.

But ongoing delivery of Consumer Duty demands more. Boards are expected to show:
  • Proactive governance
  • Embedded policies and behaviours
  • Clear evidence of progress
  • Review and Approve firms annual report on customer outcomes, including actions taken in response to those outcomes
  • Confirm they are satisfied that the firm is complying with its obligations under PRIN12, the cross-cutting rules, and the four outcomes
  • Identify risks where customer and customers with vulnerable characteristics are not receiving good outcomes
  • Ensure business strategy aligns with Principle 12
This must all come together in a structured, insightful board report — one that moves beyond technical language and tells a clear story of how your firm is delivering Duty in practice, using both quantitative and qualitative data.

That’s where we come in.
