What the FCA is asking for

The FCA wants evidence, not assumptions.

13 March 2026 · Consumer understanding

Testing was often “superficial, one-off or poorly documented”.

  • Some firms left key customer groups out of testing.
  • Some changed communications without checking the changes worked.

27 July 2026 · Outcomes monitoring

Collecting MI “will not, by itself, show” whether customers get good outcomes.

  • Some firms couldn't show how MI led to decisions.
  • Actions were taken without showing whether they worked.

Clarune helps you support your Consumer Duty obligations with better evidence. The FCA doesn't prescribe a testing method, and no tool guarantees compliance.
