FCA Policy Statement PS26/2 – Operational incident reporting

May 21, 2026

This is the first of two Hot TopICS outlining the FCA’s new operational incident and third-party reporting requirements. In this Hot TopICS, we will cover the background to the publication of the new rules and guidance, and the operational incident reporting requirements. In the second Hot TopICS we will cover material third-party reporting, which applies to a smaller cohort of firms.

The operational incident reporting rules apply to all regulated firms . The third-party reporting rules, in the insurance sector, will only be relevant for Enhanced SM&CR firms and Solvency II firms (e.g., insurers).
