FCA Non-Financial Misconduct Scenario — The Reference

What you'll practise

The Regulatory Reference

A reference request arrives for a senior trader. Priya filed a harassment complaint six months ago — then withdrew it. PS25/5 says you may still have a duty to disclose. What goes in the reference?

Fitness & Propriety

Non-financial misconduct is now relevant to fitness and propriety assessments. Bullying, harassment, and discrimination aren't just HR issues anymore — they're regulatory ones.

Disclosure Obligations

A withdrawn complaint doesn't mean it disappears. Navigate the tension between the complainant's confidentiality, the subject's rights, and your firm's regulatory obligations.

Culture & Accountability

The FCA expects firms to demonstrate a healthy culture. When senior management knew about misconduct and didn't act, the regulatory consequences extend beyond the individual.

Built for FCA-regulated firms

This scenario is designed for HR leaders, compliance officers, senior managers, and anyone involved in fitness and propriety assessments or regulatory references at FCA-regulated firms. Covers PS25/5 non-financial misconduct obligations and their intersection with employment law.
