We are setting out our policy for publishing information about enforcement warning notices, and responding to the feedback to our consultation.
Why are we issuing this Policy Statement (PS)?
We were given a new power by the Financial Services Act 2012 to publish information about certain enforcement warning notices. In March 2013 we consulted on our proposed policy for using this power (in FSA CP13/8). This Policy Statement sets out our final policy, which will result in earlier transparency of our enforcement proceedings.
Who is this PS aimed at?
This will be of interest to consumers and to all FCA-regulated firms.
What are the next steps?
We will apply this policy when deciding whether to publish any information about disciplinary warning notices issued on or after 15 October 2013.
