Firm Details Attestation deadline
FCA · Annually · 60 business days after year end
Every year, within 60 business days of your accounting reference date, you must check your firm details in FCA Connect, update anything that has changed and confirm they're accurate. You still need to confirm them if nothing has changed.
An estimate set on or before the deadline. Bank holidays can push the real date a few days later.
Who has to do it
Firms covered by the reporting requirements in SUP 16.10. The attestation is made through the FCA's Connect system.
Working out the date
Count 60 business days from your financial year end. Sixty business days is at least 12 calendar weeks, so with a 31 March year end the deadline falls in late June.
If you miss it
The FCA has said that firms are required to comply, and that if they don't it will consider using its full range of regulatory tools, including enforcement.
