The FCA publishes across multiple channels — the news feed, the publications feed, Handbook Notices and speeches. Most items are irrelevant to any single firm, so the challenge is not access to data but filtering it down to what actually affects your permissions.
Start from your FCA permissions. A payments firm cares about safeguarding and operational resilience; a consumer-credit lender cares about CONC and affordability. Mapping permissions to sectors lets you ignore the ~80% of publications that don't apply.
The publications RSS feed carries the formal PS/CP/HN content; the news feed carries enforcement and Dear CEO letters. Checking both daily — or having them monitored — means you see changes on the day they publish rather than weeks later.
Prioritise Policy Statements and Handbook Notices (binding), then Consultation Papers (act before the deadline), then Dear CEO letters and Final Notices (supervisory signals). This ordering keeps limited compliance time on what carries deadlines.
Record what you reviewed and the decision you took — even 'no action, out of scope'. A dated log of FCA publications reviewed is exactly what supervisors and auditors ask for, and it protects the firm if a change is later missed.
FCA Radar monitors every FCA feed and emails you when a relevant publication lands — filtered to your sector.
