The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has issued this communication to update financial institutions on the development, stakeholder consultation, and implementation timeline of its cross-sectoral Conduct of Business Return (Omni-CBR). Following extensive sector-wide workshops and written submissions, the FSCA is streamlining the reporting template, clarifying its regulatory mandate, and extending implementation phases to address operational costs, data collection challenges, and reporting frequency. A revised Omni-CBR template and industry impact survey will be published by July 2024, paving the way for a targeted pilot phase in the second half of 2024 that aligns with pending financial conduct legislation.
