Over 1,000 advisers join Simplybiz event to tackle FCA’s S165 information request

REGULATION

05 AUG, 2025

We were delighted to have more than 1,000 advisers attend our Compliance Clinic - an hour-long event focused on completing the FCA’s mandatory S165 information request.

Led by our Director of Policy, Alexander McGregor, and Head of Compliance Services, James Chapman, the Clinic offered practical insight into how to approach the request and how advisers can use the process to gain a deeper understanding of their own businesses.

Our Compliance Director, Paul Bruns, commented "If firms are looking for support in any areas covered by the survey, including managing vulnerable clients, embedding the Consumer Duty, reviewing processes in light of the retirement income review, and managing ongoing advice reviews – or feel they would benefit from a more general compliance health check – this is the place to come.”
