As the FCA sharpens its expectations around evidencing compliance, Joe Norburn, CEO of TCC Group (TCC, Momenta and Recordsure), outlines how firms must prepare for 2026 by shifting from intent-led compliance to continuous, data-driven evidence readiness — as featured by Forum Events & Media Group.
Firms should expect more targeted data requests, higher standards of proof and less tolerance for incomplete audit trails or manual, sample-led approaches. Those relying on periodic reviews or human-only oversight risk falling behind as evidential demands increase.
In 2026, success will belong to firms that embed evidence readiness into day-to-day operations, combining predictive AI with human expertise to deliver population-level insight, robust audit trails and demonstrable customer outcomes.
