    PRA 2026 Regulatory Priorities: Are You Ready?

    For UK financial services firms

    The Prudential Regulation Authority’s 2026 supervisory priorities signal a clear shift for UK financial services firms from banks and building societies to investment firms, asset and wealth managers, brokers, and fintechs.

    The PRA is sharpening its focus on:

    • Governance, risk management, and controls
    • Operational and financial resilience
    • Data quality, reporting integrity, and model risk
    • Safe adoption of AI and innovation
    • Stronger supervisory engagement and evidence-based oversight

    Firms are expected not just to have frameworks, but to prove they work in practice, under stress, and across interconnected risks.

    To help you prepare, we’ve created a practical 2026 Regulatory Readiness Checklist aligned directly to the PRA’s published priorities, designed to help UK deposit takers and regulated firms identify gaps, prioritise actions, and be ready before supervisors ask.

    This checklist translates regulatory expectations into clear, actionable steps, across governance, resilience, data, AI, and capital.

    For UK Financial Services Firms

    • A regulator-aligned checklist covering the key 2026 supervisory focus areas

    • A clear view of where your firm is ready and where gaps may be exposed

    • Practical prompts to assess governance, resilience, data, AI, and capital

    • A “ready-to-show” evidence guide so you know what supervisors will ask for

    • Support for Board and Executive challenge, not just second-line compliance

    • Early visibility of Basel 3.1, Strong & Simple, and Pillar 2 impacts (where applicable)

    • Confidence that your operational resilience and third-party oversight stand up under stress

    • A faster path from self-assessment to prioritised action

    Download the checklist and understand where your firm stands against PRA 2026 expectations.
