Generally Authorised Person (GAP) Checklist – Ofcom 2025

To help you prepare for the regulatory transition, we have created our Generally Authorised Person Checklist to complement the new Ofcom PRS Order which comes into effect in February 2025.

A Generally Authorised Person(s) must be in post by the 1st February 2025, and this checklist will help you understand what the role entails and assist you in complying with the regulations around it.

Please use this checklist to tick off your obligations under the SI. Information about each obligation is on the left and a tick box and space for comments have been added for your ease of use.

This Checklist is provided on an advisory basis to complement the information provided in the Ofcom PRS Order (The Regulation of Premium Rate Services Order 2024) and is for guidance only. aimm cannot be held responsible for ensuring that risk management is treated appropriately by your organisation. It is the responsibility of each individual organisation to ensure they comply with Ofcom regulations.
