AFB Practice Roundtable: Are you ready for the UK Operational Resilience Requirements?

This roundtable discussion, in partnership with EY, will be an opportunity to review the preparedness of AFB members for the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) operational resilience requirements, in advance of the implementation deadline on 31 March 2025.

Why attend?

Join your peers and hear from industry experts at EY, as we discuss the best practice approaches being taken by banks to meet the expectations of the UK regulators. The roundtable discussion will also look beyond the deadline, at the ongoing challenge of maintaining operational resilience, as the market, regulatory focus and client demands evolve.

Attendees will be invited to share their perspectives, draw upon the points raised and pose questions to the team at EY and each other.

To ensure you make the most of this opportunity, we will circulate an agenda and a series of questions in advance to those registered to attend. This will be used to guide the discussion.

Note that capacity for the roundtable will be limited to 25 members, one person per member bank, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Who should attend?

This roundtable is aimed at senior members of operations teams at AFB members and specifically those responsible for meeting operational resilience requirements.
