Regulatory update - January 2020

Welcome to the January edition of our monthly Regulatory Update, which aims to pull together key developments from the past month across the various UK regulators – and help you to navigate the regulatory maze.

As 2019 drew to a close, the UK’s regulatory bodies showed no signs of slowing down. From huge SFO fines to the ICO’s call for new powers under POCA and Sir Donald Brydon’s hotly anticipated recommendations for the audit market, the pace of regulation continues.
