FCA PS26/2 Expectations & More: From Many Third Parties to One Resilience Obligation
Description
Operational resilience is no longer just about managing suppliers—it’s about ensuring your important business services continue under stress. Regulators now expect evidence that firms understand their third- and nth-party dependencies, test severe disruptions, make timely decisions, and report incidents and material third-party arrangements in a structured way.
This webinar will show what good practice looks like in action: start with the service, not the supplier; test the chain, not just the contract; embed CMORG as the decision engine; and make reporting an ongoing capability rather than a last-minute scramble. We’ll also explore how automation and AI can accelerate insight while keeping accountability firmly with the firm.
Key Takeaways:
- A clear model linking important business service mapping, third-party testing, CMORG, and reporting.
- A sharper understanding of the evidence regulators want to see.
- Practical insight into where automation and AI support resilience without replacing accountability.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Risk, compliance, and operational resilience professionals looking to align with PS26/2 expectations and strengthen their supply-chain resilience.
