Finanstilsynet (Norway FSA) has issued a warning about "hanfcl (Clone)," a clone firm that appears to impersonate an FCA-authorized United Kingdom entity. The notice relays a UK Financial Conduct Authority warning, so compliance teams should treat it as a fraud and impersonation alert and update screening and customer-protection controls.
APRA and ASIC have opened consultation on reducing FAR reporting obligations, including removing key functions requirements from the regulator rules and dropping direct report information from accountability maps. The regulators estimate the changes would cut reporting for all accountable entities and about 4500 accountable people, and halve the number of accountability map updates. Compliance teams should assess operational impacts now and consider submitting feedback before finalization, targeted for the end of 2026.

In a keynote at the Geneva Association PROGRES-Seminar, EIOPA argued that keeping risks insurable requires earlier risk identification, broader risk sharing, and responsible transformation.

Compliance teams should treat it as a forward-looking indicator of supervisory expectations.
