Operational Risk 2026: What Regulators Are Really Testing

Date & Time: 22nd October 2026
10.30am - 11.15am BST

Tune into our live webinar with Ruleguard, as we explore why operational risk has climbed back to the top of the regulatory agenda, and what UK and EU supervisors are really looking for when they test your framework.
 
Our panel will walk through the current regulatory landscape, the red flags that draw supervisory attention fastest, and the risks firms should be watching for in 2026. You'll leave with a practical maturity checklist you can use to self-assess your own operational risk framework, so you can show you're ahead of the curve, not just reacting to it.

This webinar is for compliance, risk, and governance leaders at banks, insurers, pension providers, hedge funds, asset and wealth managers, and e-money and payment firms regulated by a financial services authority such as the FCA. If you're responsible for demonstrating operational risk to your board or your regulator, this session is built for you. 

What We'll Cover

  1. Why Operational Risk Is Back in the Spotlight - the pressures pushing operational risk back up the regulatory agenda, and why firms can no longer treat it as a background concern.
  2. The UK and EU Regulatory Landscape - how supervisory expectations are evolving on both sides of the Channel, and what that means for firms operating across jurisdictions.
  3. Regulatory Red Flags - the specific issues currently drawing supervisory attention, and the gaps most likely to surface in a review.
  4. Emerging Risks for 2026 - the operational threats moving up firms' risk registers, and how to get ahead of them before they're tested.
