How to make FCA RegData reporting quick and simple
09.02.2026For many IFAs, FCA RegData reporting is one of those jobs that always feels bigger than it should. It’s detailed, time-consuming and often left until the last minute simply because fitting it around client work is difficult. The good news? RegData reporting doesn’t have to take days of preparation or involve juggling spreadsheets, bookkeeping systems and forms. With the right approach and tools, it can be quick, straightforward and far less stressful.
Why FCA RegData reporting feels so time-consuming
The challenge with FCA RegData reporting isn’t just the report itself. It’s everything that sits around it:
- Pulling financial data from different systems
- Making sure figures are accurate and up to date
- Understanding which RMAR sections apply to your firm
- Keeping on top of FCA changes and deadlines
- Coordinating with your accountant
For smaller firms especially, this often falls to people who already wear several hats. That’s when reporting becomes a headache.
What makes FCA RegData reporting simpler
The key to faster, simpler FCA RegData reporting is reducing duplication and manual effort.
When your bookkeeping and RegData reporting live in the same system, everything becomes easier. Data flows directly into the relevant RMAR sections, removing the need to re-enter figures or cross-check multiple sources.
That’s exactly what our solution, MyRegData is designed to do.
