Who is this for

The CP is relevant to:

  • all PRA and FCA authorised firms and all persons to which Part XII of FSMA applies 

  • firms seeking to apply for PRA authorisation in identifying who their controllers are

Next steps

This consultation has now closed. We will publish feedback on responses and issue any finalised guidance in due course.

Background

The European Banking Authority, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority jointly reviewed and updated the 3L3 Guidelines in 2017.
