Keeping up with policy stuff from the FCA, government and others can sometimes feel like a full-time job. And that’s before you’ve worked out if and how these changes affect your firm and the advice you give your clients.

This is where our new service, the lang cat tracker, comes in.

The lang cat tracker helps finance professionals monitor and stay on top of policy and regulatory change. It includes things like the latest consultations, policy papers, proposals and generally the developments that those working in financial services need to keep an eye on.

The brains behind the operation are our regulatory and public affairs team: Tom McPhail, Alison Gay and Mike Barrett.

They will do all the research and collating of what you need to know and when. They’ll also provide analysis along the way about what any proposed changes mean, and what to think about so you can be ready for new rules coming down the track.

Keeping pace with existing rules is clearly important, even essential – staying compliant means staying in business. The tracker will help with that, but also keep you up to date on future or proposed regulatory and political change as well.

We think the tracker will come in handy in other ways too:

• An opportunity to warn and inform clients about changes before they happen
• Content and ideas for client emails, comms and blogs
• Support in discussions with providers about what you need from them

The good news for you is that as an existing Analyser subscriber you don’t have to pay any more to access the tracker – it’s all part of the Analyser package. We’ll also keep you in the loop as and when the tracker is updated.

To check it out for yourself, inside Analyser you'll see the tracker as the first item on the top menu. You can also share any feedback with the team here
