The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has created nine 'sector teams', dedicated to particular areas of the industry. These are: Accounting & Audit, Asset Management, Banking, Capital Markets, Insurance, Retail Intermediaries and Mortgage, Consumers, Financial Crime and Financial Stability.

The structure of each team's core functions is similar and each team's role comprises three basic objectives:

1. We want to make the FSA an easier place for you to do business with.
   
   
2. We'd like a frank and open dialogue - sharing knowledge, ideas and concerns - so that together we can make UK markets more efficient and ensure customers get a fair deal.
   
   
3. We want to work together to ensure that our staff are up to date with the latest developments affecting your industry sector.

Each year the FSA publishes its Financial Risk Outlook, which details the risks that it sees facing the financial sector and its customers. The Outlook sets out the background against which the FSA sets its priorities for the year, which will be detailed in the FSA Business Plan.

The level of forthcoming regulatory initiatives from international sources is such that the FSA has also produces a International Regulatory Outlook. This details the array of international regulatory initiatives that will affect UK firms and consumers.
