One of our statutory objectives is to reduce the extent to which it is possible for a financial business to be used for a purpose connected with financial crime.
Financial crime includes any offence involving money laundering, fraud or dishonesty, or market abuse. The objective interacts with our three other objectives – protecting consumers; market confidence; and public awareness.
