CP14/31: Strengthening accountability in banking: forms, consequential and transitional aspects

Consultation papers First published: Last updated: 14/09/2015

This is a technical consultation paper (CP) which we are publishing jointly with the PRA.

Why are we publishing this paper?

This CP follows our consultation in July, which proposed changes to the way individuals working for UK banks, building societies, credit unions and PRA-designated investment firms are assessed and held accountable for the roles they perform. It is a technical CP setting out proposals on transitional arrangements for implementing the regime, new forms to support the regime, and consequential changes to our Handbook.
