Regulation

A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) investigation into insider dealing.

The vast majority of regulated firms lack faith in the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) ability to promote competition in the sector, a key tenet of the new regulator's mandate.

The Financial Services Practitioner Panel (FSPP) asked firms what single message they would deliver to the board of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) - and the over-riding plea is for fairness.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) was ineffective because it failed to deliver a good balance of 'prudential' and 'conduct' regulation, according to the chief executive of the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA).

Steve Bloor, of Open Resolution, says the Financial Ombudsman is a key defence against unscrupulous banks.
