WDPG 2.1 Application and interpretation

WDPG 2.1.1G

1This guide aims to assist FCA solo-regulated firms authorised with a Part 4A permission 2 with wind-down planning. It is not relevant where a firm is already in administration or liquidation, nor is it directly relevant to recovery strategies a firm may engage in as part of its recovery plan. While the guide does not impose any obligation on a firm to create a wind-down plan, it shows what an effective wind-down plan might include.
