Company Company Profile
As the sole financial regulator for the UK, the FSA has a unique and influential role delivering benefits to firms and consumers alike. Our remit is broad and our influence profound, from ensuring people get a fair deal in their financial services to maintaining London’s status as a world-leading international financial centre.
For our people that means an unmatched insight into the financial services sector and the challenge of overseeing and underpinning a complex, diverse and continually evolving industry that makes up 9% of the nation's GDP. Because our work has universal consequences, both for the financial services sector and consumers, everything we do is under the spotlight. This means that along with considerable personal influence comes high visibility and responsibility.
Nowhere is this influence clearer than in our relationship with firms. Working within one of our supervisory areas you’ll have the chance to watch over some of the biggest names in the financial world in areas as universal as banking, pensions, mortgages and insurance. And you’ll be joining us at a critical time. We’re adding significantly to our supervision and prudential risk teams now to ensure we can promote stability through a crucial period for the UK’s financial sector.
