About the FSA
The FSA is an independent organisation responsible for regulating financial services in the UK. The FSA's broad task is to achieve a marketplace that is run in an efficient, orderly and clean manner whilst ensuring that customers receive a fair deal by being properly informed and appropriately protected.
The FSA was set up by the government, who are responsible for the overall scope of the FSA's regulatory activities and powers.
The FSA regulates most financial services markets and firms. It sets the standards that they must meet and can take action against firms if they fail to meet the required standards.
Although set up by the government, the FSA is an independent organisation funded solely by levies on the financial businesses it regulates. The FSA is accountable to the Treasury and ultimately to Parliament for its own performance.
