What UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) -- Regulatory Framework for UK Financial Services requires
The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000) establishes the UK's financial regulatory framework. The general prohibition in Section 19 makes it a criminal offence to carry on a regulated activity in the UK without FCA or PRA authorisation. Regulated activities are specified in the Regulated Activities Order (RAO, SI 2001/544). The FCA and PRA may impose unlimited financial penalties under Section 206. The Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) under Section 60A imposes individual accountability on senior managers. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) under Section 213 compensates eligible claimants up to GBP 85,000 for deposits (per institution). The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) under Section 225 resolves retail consumer disputes. FSMA 2000 was significantly amended by the Financial Services Act 2012 (creating the FCA/PRA dual-peak model) and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (post-Brexit Edinburgh Reforms framework).
