Auditors
The auditor of a financial institution that is subject to statutory regulation has a 'duty to report' certain information to the regulator, relevant to the regulator's functions, which comes to the auditor's attention during the course of their work.
Any reports of this nature that relate to functions conferred on the PRA or the Bank of England as regulator should be sent to Auditors.dutytoreport@bankofengland.co.uk, as well as your regular Supervision contact.
For more information on an auditor’s duty to report, see sections 342 and 343 of FSMA, The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Communications by Auditors) Regulations 2001, as well as UK auditing standards.
International regulators
If you are aware of the relevant supervision team you wish to contact, please feel free to contact them directly. If you need information about an individual or a firm in the form of a Goodstanding Letter, please see our guide below:
