Mark Turner, Kroll, Comments On FCA's Rules To Protect Consumers

Date 06/12/2022

Mark Turner, managing director in Kroll’s Financial Services Compliance and Regulation practice comments on the FCA’s stronger rules to protect consumers from rogue financial promotions announced today:

“Today’s announcement by the FCA is the latest in a line of significant changes being made to financial promotion requirements in the UK.

There have been many cases over recent years where consumer harm has been caused in part due to misleading statements in promotion materials.
