The FCA’s Handbook and Fees Policy Team is responsible for the FCA Handbook of rules and guidance, including:

This high-impact work ensures that the UK financial services (FS) market has clear rules and guidance. The FCA Handbook itself sets out our expectations to over 60,000 firms regulated by the FCA and the key individuals that run them. Our work also ensures that we provide the market with a Handbook that is fit for purpose, as the breadth and complexity of the FS landscape changes.

The team works closely with others across all policy areas at the FCA, our General Counsel’s Division (GCD), our Finance Department and Editorial & Digital in our Comms Department.
