Freedom of Information: Right to know request:
- What was included in the scope of the FCA’s investigation into evidence from the Bank Signature Forgery Campaign provided by the NCA?
- Was the scope limited to examining signature forgery only?
- Did the scope also cover document tampering and document manipulation?
FCA response:
We worked with the National Crime Agency (NCA) on this matter from September 2019, including assisting its review of the material sent to it by the Banking Signatures Forgery Campaign.
The scope of the task for the FCA was solely to review the signature forgery allegations; document tampering and manipulation were not included.
