Updated remuneration guidance from the PRA and FCA

United KingdomScotland

Over the last month, both the Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority have produced final versions of updated guidance on remuneration.

This follows the form of the FCA’s draft guidance published for consultation last year and the PRA’s consultation. In both cases, the updated guidance consolidates guidance that was previously located in several places and the opportunity has also been taken to update the guidance to reflect the European Banking Authority’s 2015 remuneration guidelines. The FCA’s guidance also deals with proportionality and is in the form of FAQs, with separate guidance for each of the particular Remuneration Codes. Only very minor changes were made following consultation.
