FCA Complaints Handling

At Ecompli, we support businesses of all sizes with guidance, documents and templates for FCA complaints handling. Firms are required to have appropriate and effective procedures for handling complaints, which must be implemented and maintained within to their business practices. This includes having appropriate management controls to identify and remedy any recurring or systemic problems.

The general requirement to have internal complaints handling procedures is set out in the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Handbook. The Complaints Procedure Manual below sets out these rules and procedures contained under the section titled Dispute Resolution: Complaints (DISP) within the FCA Handbook.

The Complaints Procedure Manual has been written to be effective and transparent taking into account the concept of Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) and the Consumer Duty. It is also designed to ensure that complaints are handled fairly, effectively, promptly, and resolved at the earliest possible opportunity, minimising the number of complaints referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

Our downloadable documents for FCA complaints handling, including the Complaints Procedure Manual, are designed as a complete solution for your business from publicising your procedures to reporting to the FCA.

Complaints Procedure Manual

The purpose of this Complaints Procedure Manual is to set out the rules contained under the section titled Dispute Resolution: Complaints (DISP) within the Financial Conduct Authority Handbook.

These procedures have been written to be effective and transparent, for the reasonable and prompt handling of complaints. It provides a simple structure process on how to identify a complaint, what should and shouldn’t be done and how a complaint should then be handled and who by. 

The manual also includes how a firm’s management information can be used to evidence it is embedding the Consumer Duty to ensure that customers receive good outcomes.
