The Financial Services Authority (FSA) was an independent non-governmental body, given statutory powers by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. It was financed by the financial services industry.[1]

The Treasury appointed the FSA Board, which consists of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, three Managing Directors, and nine non-executive directors (including a lead non-executive member, the Deputy Chairman). The Board set overall policy, but day-to-day decisions and management of the staff are the responsibility of the Executive.[2] The Chairman was formally appointed to the FSA board for five years and other members for three years.

After the financial crash in 2012 and the Financial Services Act 2012 the FSA was abolished. Its responsibilities were split between two new agencies, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England.[3]

Structure

The FSA is an independent non-governmental body, given statutory powers by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. It is a company limited by guarantee and financed by the financial services industry. HM Treasury appoints the FSA Board, which currently consists of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, three Managing Directors, and 9 non-executive directors (including a lead non-executive member, the Deputy Chairman). This Board sets overall policy, but day-to-day decisions and management of the staff are the responsibility of the Executive.[4]

Role

The FSA described its role as 'promoting efficient, orderly and fair markets' and 'helping retail consumers achieve a fair deal'.[5] It is given a range of rule-making, investigatory and enforcement powers in order to meet four statutory objectives:

1. market confidence: maintaining confidence in the financial system;

2. public awareness: promoting public understanding of the financial system;

3. consumer protection: securing the appropriate degree of protection for consumers; and

4. the reduction of financial crime: reducing the extent to which it is possible for a business to be used for a purpose connected with financial crime.

Failure to regulate

In early 2007 as the financial crisis began to intensify, the FSA, under Callum McCarthy, was still arguing for “light touch” regulation for hedge funds, seen as a key driver of financial instability.[6] In autumn 2007, McCarthy said the growing calls for increased regulation of the financial services industry were a “mad dog” reaction.[7] By then the European Central Bank had already pumped €95 billion into the market to improve liquidity and the UK had experienced a run on a bank, Northern Rock.

Northern Rock

Early in the crisis the FSA reassured people that Northern Rock was “solvent.”[8] Economics journalist Alex Brummer, author of The Crunch, noted that the FSA’s “actions suggested it hadn't a clue about the weakness of the Rock's securitization model.”[9]

The FSA was widely seen as the regulatory authority that was most to blame for allowing Northern Rock to fail. It was accused by the British MP John McFall, head of the influential Treasury Select Committee, of “not just sleeping, you were comatose'” over Northern Rock.[10][11] The Treasury Committee's report on the scandal determined that the FSA had “systematically failed in its duty.” “The failure of Northern Rock, while a failure of its own board, was also a failure of its regulator,” it said.[12]

McCarthy’s refusal to accept responsibility for the FSA’s role in Northern Rock’s downfall angered parliamentarians. One MP on the Committee, Sion Simon, told McCarthy: “You are the Sugar Ray Leonard of the financial services sector; a world-class ducker and diver, bobber and weaver ...”[13]

When a senior UK politician, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Vince Cable, raised concerns about Northern Rock, it was reported that McCarthy had tried to “gag” him. Cable said: “Sir Callum said I was scaremongering, that there was no problem with the bank and that it had a good loan book, and any problems were due to international markets beyond its control.”[14]

In fact, the FSA failed to examine the risky nature of the whole banking sector. McCarthy’s replacement at the FSA, Lord Adair Turner, has now admitted that the FSA and other regulators had failed to see that by 2004 the banking system was moving in a direction that created a “large systemic risk”. “With hindsight” said Turner “the FSA was focused too much on individual institutions .... and not adequately focused on the totality of the systemic risks across the whole system, and whether there were entire business models, entire ways of operating, that were risky.”[15]

RBS

In October 2012, MPs from the UK Treasury Select Committee published another damning report on the FSA's failure to act, this time over the British bank RBS's acquisition of Dutch bank ABN Amro in 2007. The £49 billion takeover, which helped push RBS to the brink of collapse, was a 'serious indictment' of the Financial Services Authority said MPs. The Guardian reported the committee's findings:

"The FSA report describes failures and inadequacies in the regulation and supervision of capital, liquidity, asset quality and a failure appropriately to analyse the risks relating to the ABN Amro acquisition," the committee's report says. "This is a serious indictment of both the senior management and leadership and in particular the chairman and chief executive in place at the time and their predecessors, regardless of the prevailing assumptions and political pressures."
"[The FSA] should have intervened at an early stage. It should and could have intervened at a late stage, albeit with more difficulty."
The committee also concluded that it was a "matter of considerable surprise" that nobody, with the exception of former investment banking head Johnny Cameron, has been "held meaningfully accountable" for the failure of the bank. Cameron has agreed not to run a bank again even though the FSA has decided not to pursue any disciplinary action against him.[16]

Actions against bankers 2012

In April 2012 the FSA announced it would fine high-flying investment banker Ian Hannam £450,000 for 'market abuse' related to insider trading. He was found to have misused information he obtained in his position as an adviser to Heritage Oil. Hannam was, according to the Financial Times, the fifth market professional so far in 2012 to be fined for violations of the FSA’s policies on keeping deal information confidential. Three people including former Bank of America Merrill Lynch broker Andrew Osborne were fined in connection with information given to hedge fund manager David Einhorn, and Nicholas Kyprios, head of European credit sales at Credit Suisse, was fined for “playing charades” with a client about the identity of a pending debt issuer.[17]
