On April 9, 2018, the FCA published a discussion paper on its proposed approach to using ex post impact evaluation to assess the impact of its work on consumers, firms and markets. The consultation paper sets out what the FCA means by ex post impact evaluation, why it is important to the FCA, the scope of ex post impact evaluations, how the FCA will select which work to evaluate, how such evaluations will be conducted and the key challenges involved in ex post impact evaluations. The FCA is seeking feedback on its proposed approach. Responses to the discussion paper should be submitted by July 9, 2018.

The discussion paper is available at: https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/discussion/dp18-03.pdf.
