FCA warning notices: on target or wide of the mark? | Practical Law
Since the Financial Conduct Authority’s new power to publicise warning notice statements came into effect in October 2013, a number of warning notice statements have been published by the FCA. At the time of writing, the two most recent statements were those issued on 15 April 2014. The first nine warning notice statements all relate to unnamed individuals and contain so little information that firms might wonder whether the notices are really going to be effective in helping the FCA to achieve its stated aims.
