FCA GIPP Report Submission
Saga Insurance Ltd - March 2024
I managed the company’s end-to-end delivery of the FCA’s General Insurance Pricing Practices (GIPP) submission. This regulatory change required insurers and intermediaries to evidence compliance with new pricing rules, ensuring fair value for customers. The project involved coordinating multiple departments, compiling and validating data, and submitting a compliant report to the FCA by the regulatory deadline.
