The Financial Services Act 2012 (FSA 2012) introduced a fresh UK regulatory structure from 1 April 2013, dissolving the financial services authority and creating the financial conduct authority (FCA) alongside the Prudential Regulation authority (PRA). The FCA was set up as an independent conduct regulator with a strategic aim that the relevant markets operate effectively, and operational aims centred on market integrity, consumer protection and fostering effective competition.
