The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) previously published FSCA Communication 22 of 2021, providing background to the development of the Omni-Conduct of Business Return (Omni-CBR). The purpose of the Omni-CBR is to enable the FSCA to conduct off-site monitoring to access meaningful, reliable, measurable, and comparable information to assess the delivery of fair customer outcomes across the financial sector. 

The FSCA has published a Roadmap for the roll-out and implementation of the Omni-CBR. Phase 1 of the multi-year consultative process entails the publication of the Roadmap and draft Omni-CBR, the presentation of an explanatory webinar series, interactive sector specific workshops, an invitation for written feedback on the draft Omni-CBR and the collation and review of the written comments received. The remaining phases will be implemented over a four-year period, with the FSCA aiming to have full and complete CBR reporting on a quarterly basis by June 2026.
