Our fourth FCA Manual version comes with both the MCOB section for firms with mortgage and home finance permissions and includes our complete GDPR Document Toolkit and Information Security Toolkit. These provide 50+ data protection, privacy, information security, cyber essentials and PECR policies and templates. Our FCA manual is the UK’s most comprehensive compliance document with over 200+ customisable policies, templates, compliance tools and checklists. Accelerate your FCA compliance with this exclusive manual and support your FCA application or ongoing compliance.
Alongside the 300-page manual, we have used our 20 years experience and regulatory expertise to bring together hundreds of policy templates that support and integrate with FCA compliance. With over 9500 organisations using our templates and toolkits, you can be assured your compliance program is in good hands. Complying with the Financial Conduct Authority rules is not just about the FCA Handbook. This is why we also cover essential compliance areas such as AML, TCF, information security, complaint handling, risk management, due diligence, CASS, Consumer Duty, Operational Resilience and SMCR.
You can also purchase our standard FCA Compliance Manual without our GDPR templates.

The use of the compliance manual reduced a huge amount off of the time it took us to submit and get approved by the FCA…
In an environment that is seeing an increasing amount of burdensome regulation, setting up our brokerage was made pain free by using the full suite of in-depth and easy to use documentation provided by KYC.
Without doubt the use of their compliance manual reduced a huge amount off of the time it took us to submit and get approved by the FCA, all of which is backed up by excellent customer service and account management.
Responsive, helpful, generous and courteous. The team at KYC have been really valuable to us in our GDPR preparations.
I can’t recommend the team enough. Great support service, guidance and easy to understand documents. Guided me through GDPR compliance with ease and actually made it enjoyable.
