| The Role of the Financial Services Authority |
|
The Financial Services and Markets Act gives the UK Financial Services Authority four statutory objectives:
- Maintaining market confidence in the financial system;
- Promoting public awareness and understanding of the financial system;
- Providing and ensuring appropriate levels of protection for consumers
- Reducing the extent to which it is possible for a business carried on by a regulated person to be used for a purpose connected with financial crime.
Of particular relevance when considering financial misconduct, which will inevitably involve the use of computer data, is the final point above. The principle records detailing the financial actively of an organisation will be stored on computer hard disks, or more likely, backup tapes. It is essential that this digital evidence is handled correctly to ensure appropriate levels of disclosure and compliance with appropriate statutory requirements.
