But as advisor numbers grow, so does the admin. More CPD to track, more competence sign-offs to evidence, more supervisory observations to document.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"777\">And in an environment where the FCA expects ongoing, audit-ready evidence of competence \u2014 not just completion certificates \u2014 that gap becomes a regulatory risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">This guide is for compliance, HR and senior management teams at financial services firms who want a clearer picture of where T&amp;C management typically breaks down, what the regulator now expects to see, and what a scalable system should do to close the evidence gap. You&#8217;ll learn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 20.925px;\">Why T&amp;C admin compounds as firms grow &#8211; and the five breaking points that create regulatory exposure. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 20.925px;\">What the FCA&#8217;s focus on outcomes-based supervision means for T&amp;C evidence<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 20.925px;\">What a flexible, configurable, automated T&amp;C system should look like &#8211; and how connecting CPD, supervision and MI in one place transforms T&amp;C from a compliance cost into a business asset.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.comply.com\/guide-for-training-and-competence\"><strong>DOWNLOAD NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":12882,"menu_order":0,"template":"","resource_type_tax":[163],"delivery_method_tax":[],"certification_tax":[],"class_list":["post-14318","resource_posts","type-resource_posts","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resource_type_tax-industry-guide"],"acf":{"resource_description":"","resource_button":{"title":"Download now","url":"https:\/\/www3.comply.com\/guide-for-training-and-competence","target":""},"resource_date":"","is_press_release":false,"form_headline":"","form_id":"","is_paywall":false,"newsletter_type":"global","resource_feed_group":{"show_section":false,"section_headline":"","more_link":"","use_recent_resources":true,"resources":false},"resource_feed_clone":{"resource_feed_group":{"show_section":false,"section_headline":"","more_link":"","use_recent_resources":true,"resources":false}},"gate_this_content":false,"form_embed":"","full_content_":"","accordion_group":{"show_section":false,"accordion_style":"image","section_subhead":"","section_headline":"","section_text":"","accordion_1_headline":"","accordion":false,"accordion_2_headline":"","accordion_2":false},"new_blue_header":false,"include_bdt_time":false,"resource_location":"","event_date_":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Evidence Gap: Your Guide for Training &amp;
