The regulatory framework in the UK applies to the financial services sector. Each body that makes up the framework is responsible for overseeing different UK financial services sector areas.
The regulatory cycle in the UK starts with authorisation to carry out a regulated activity followed by supervision. Civil, criminal, and regulatory powers enforce regulations and protect consumers.
Our Introduction to UK Financial Regulation Course explains how the financial services industry is regulated and how compliance with these regulations is both an individual and collective responsibility.
Available as part of our FCA Compliance Library.
