Non‑Financial Misconduct (NFM) Training
Contact us
Is your firm ready for the FCA’s Non‑Financial Misconduct rules?
From 1 September 2026, the FCA’s expanded Non‑Financial Misconduct (NFM) requirements apply to thousands of firms that were previously out of scope. Regulators have made it clear that weak conduct culture, poor governance, and failure to address behavioural issues will no longer be tolerated.
Non‑financial misconduct is now explicitly linked to fitness and propriety, regulatory references, and enforcement risk. Firms are expected to evidence how they identify, prevent and respond to behaviours such as bullying, harassment, victimisation and other conduct risks and not simply rely on written HR policies.
Can you evidence understanding and accountability across your workforce?
Firms must be able to demonstrate that employees, managers and Senior Managers understand:
- What constitutes non‑financial misconduct
- When action is required
- How behaviour impacts regulatory status — both personally and organisationally
Training is no longer optional — it forms part of your conduct and governance evidence.
