At the Association of Professional Compliance Consultants, we believe that compliance consultancy thrives on collaboration, insight and continuous learning. As the leading trade body for FCA/PRA compliance professionals in the UK, APCC membership isn’t just a badge of credibility — it’s a gateway to community, knowledge and influence.
A Community That Champions Your Success
One of the greatest benefits of APCC membership is the sense of connection it brings. Compliance consultancy can sometimes feel solitary, but as part of the APCC you’re linked to a network of like-minded professionals from across the industry. Through member stories and shared experiences, you’ll find inspiration, practical support and a sounding board for everyday challenges.
Events, Learning & Expertise
Our events programme is designed to keep members ahead in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. From intimate roundtables and webinars to our flagship biannual conferences, members get exclusive access to forums where current thinking, best practice and regulatory developments are explored in depth. These events don’t just inform — they empower you to lead with confidence.
And it’s not just talk. Through APCC’s Education Hub, members benefit from curated resources, working groups and opportunities to develop professional qualifications and accreditation — because we know that knowledge is a consultant’s most valuable asset.
Expand Your Professional Reach
Membership brings you into a trusted directory of compliance consultancies, making it easier for prospective clients and partners to find and engage your expertise. It also opens doors to priority booking for APCC events and direct engagement with regulators and strategic partners — valuable opportunities that support business growth and reputation building.
A Voice at the Heart of the Industry
Being part of the APCC means you’re not just informed — you’re involved. Members contribute to surveys and discussions that help shape the focus of our working groups, insights and public commentary. This collective voice helps ensure the real-world needs of compliance consultants are reflected in broader industry dialogue.
As APCC Chair Steve McGuinness says:
“APCC membership is about more than connection — it’s about shared purpose. Together we build understanding, influence outcomes and elevate standards across the compliance community.”
The Power of Shared Perspective
Perhaps most importantly, APCC membership gives you access to a wealth of collective experience and perspective. Whether you’re tackling a tricky regulatory question, building a new service offer, or simply looking for reassurance that you’re on the right track, you’re never alone. Members share insights, challenge perspectives and support each other — a powerful advantage in a field defined by complexity and change.
