An opportunity not to be missed

This event will feature presentations by the SRA that will provide an insight into our strategic thinking covering the next three years including future challenges and priorities.   The session on our risk-based approach to regulation will provide a clear overview of how we intend delivering risk-based outcomes-focused regulation effectively and efficiently.   A further key priority for the SRA – and one on which we are seeking your input – is how we  ensure that firms and the SRA can maximise the benefits of OFR by removing bureaucratic processes which may have carried through from the old, rules based, approach to regulation but which are no longer necessary.      

This is your opportunity to learn first-hand how the SRA intends driving forward regulatory change over the next three years.  Places are limited to one representative per firm in the first instance and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.  Attendance is free and the event is CPD accredited.

If you would like to make a booking, please complete the booking form here no later than Friday, 7 December.
