Official sources for tracking FCA, PRA, ECB and OCC changes
For tracking changes across the FCA, PRA, ECB and OCC, start with each authority’s own publications and subscription options. Use a source register to bring them into one review process. If you need real-time alerts, assess the timing and coverage of each source separately: an email subscription or RSS feed alone does not establish how quickly an assessed update reaches your team.
Official source pages reviewed on 28 September 2026. This guide compares source-discovery options for international teams. Comperse’s current product coverage is UK-focused; it does not include ECB or OCC monitoring.
Where to start for each authority
| Authority | Official source | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) | News and publications email alerts offer daily and weekly updates, including news and new publications. | Choose the subscription cadence and identify which publication types your review needs. |
| Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) | The PRA policy hub links to consultations, policy statements, supervisory statements and the Rulebook. | Record the type of policy material and follow through to its underlying documents. |
| European Central Bank (ECB), banking supervision | The banking supervision RSS directory lists publications, speeches and Supervision Newsletter feeds. | Select the feed relevant to supervisory monitoring and check its contents in your reader. |
| Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) | The OCC RSS directory lists separate feeds for bulletins, news releases and publications, among other categories. | Choose the categories you need rather than relying on one general news stream. |
Match the subscription to the review
The FCA specifies weekday circulation at 4pm and a weekly email on Friday at 5pm on its subscription page. That is a stated distribution schedule, so a requirement to see publications sooner needs a separate discussion of detection and delivery.
For the PRA, keep rules and other policy material identifiable in your register. Its policy explanation distinguishes consultation proposals, policy statements and supervisory statements, and directs readers to the PRA Rulebook for rules. A publication headline is the starting point for checking the document’s status and relevant dates.
For ECB monitoring, this guide uses the banking supervision website as its starting point. The RSS instructions explain that readers periodically check feeds at a chosen frequency. Include that polling interval when evaluating alert latency. A banking-supervision source list should not be treated as a complete inventory of EU regulatory material.
The OCC also offers email subscriptions. Its OCC News option includes bulletins, alerts and announcements; enforcement actions have a separate subscription category. Decide which categories belong in your team’s scope and who will review them.
What should “real time” mean in your requirements?
Write the requirement as a measurable question: for a named publication type, how long can pass between its availability at the official source and its arrival with the responsible reviewer? Then ask a provider to demonstrate that path using a recent example.
- Source scope: Which authority, publication category and endpoint does the service monitor?
- Detection: How often is that source checked, and how are unavailable feeds or missed checks handled?
- Assessment: Is the first alert a headline, a summary or an institution-specific assessment? When is each available?
- Delivery: Is the update sent immediately after processing or held for a digest? What happens outside working hours?
- Evidence: Can the provider show publication, detection and delivery timestamps, with time zones and any missing values identified?
This is a suggested supplier test, not a claim about any provider’s measured performance. Our alert-timing guide develops the timing questions in more detail.
Keep a separate decision for each affected entity
Use one register to organise discovery, then record relevance at the entity level. Suggested fields are authority, official URL, publication type, affected entity, reviewer, source dates, internal target and review outcome.
For example, an international group could route a UK publication to its London compliance team and an OCC bulletin to its US reviewer. That routing is an illustrative workflow; it does not establish that either document applies to a particular entity. Preserve the original source and the reviewer’s reasons for taking—or declining—further action.
For the UK part of the process, use the FCA and PRA tracking guide. Record the resulting decision with our impact assessment template. When evaluating an aggregator, compare its documented source scope with this register using the software evaluation checklist.
