FIA EPTA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Consultation Paper on Regulatory fees and levies: policy proposals for 2022/23. FIA EPTA does not have a strong view on the proposed change as in practice we are not aware of any firms subject to IFPR that have obtained in the past such internal model approval. This is due to the fact that the conditions to implement the internal model are extremely burdensome as they were initially designed for large credit institutions.
