An effective wind-down plan can help a firm assess if it would have adequate resources to wind down in an orderly manner, cease its regulated activities and achieve cancellation of its permission with minimal adverse impact on its clients, counterparties or the wider markets.Ìý

Yet, often it is a conversation that executives don’t want to have, which can garner scrutiny from regulatory supervisors and have more adverse effects if a firm does have to wind down. Being forewarned is being forearmed, which is why we’ve put together an expert panel who share their valuable professional opinions on:

• What makes an effective wind-down plan?
• How often should you update this living, breathing document?
• What is the UK FCA’s approach to this?
• How will the EU’s approach to wind down planning change with the incoming Payment Services Regulation? How can you navigate both markets?
