Thematic examination programme 2026

We conduct thematic examinations in response to perceived, current or emerging regulatory risks. Themes are selected for consideration and review across a range of entities and individuals from either the same sector, or across different sectors. This selection enables the standard of compliance and associated risks on the topic to be assessed more broadly.

Examinations can be conducted through questionnaires, in-depth examinations, desk-based activity or a combination of these methods.

In 2026, we will examine the following themes:

  • exemptions from customer due diligence requirements
  • customer complaints
