On 27 October 2020, the FCA updated its SM&CR webpage dealing with the FCA Directory.
The change provides confirmation of publication dates and is summarised in the table below.
FCA solo-regulated firms with more than 10 directory persons can submit directory data using the multiple add/amend submission form. However, the FCA will assign a timeslot for each such firm to submit their data. By 12 October 2020, the FCA should have contacted the 2,000 or so firms it estimates may want to make use of this facility in order to provide a timeslot.
If, by 14 October 2020, your firm has not been contacted by the FCA but you want to make use of the multiple add/amend template you may submit data in accordance with the table below.
