We welcome the FCA’s ongoing transformation programme which has cultural change as one of its priorities. We however note that the FCA has undergone numerous structural and operational changes since its inception, with more changes expected as part of the ongoing transformation. We recognise that culture change takes time but recommend that the FCA Board sets itself an end date for the transformation programme and that it creates milestones at which improvements and evidence of changes in culture can be reviewed. These milestones and reviews should be put into the public domain. At the completion of the transformation programme, the FCA should ensure it has in place measures that will ensure that its improved culture is maintained and embedded.
