Non-financial misconduct in financial services—essentials

Practice Notes

This Practice Note addresses the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA’s) supervisory and enforcement focus on non-financial misconduct. It considers how the FCA defines non-financial misconduct, and the basis on which the FCA can take disciplinary or enforcement action against regulated firms and individuals for non-financial misconduct. It also addresses the development of the FCA’s approach to non-financial misconduct in enforcement actions and Upper Tribunal decisions and considers future developments in this area.
