The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will rein in its enforcement focus and commit to providing more updates on its ongoing investigations as part of a revamped strategy designed to quicken the pace and increase the deterrent impact of its cases.
The agency announced its plans Tuesday, accompanied by the launch of a consultation focused on increasing transparency around enforcement investigations. The consultation will close April 16.
