On 16 December 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority
("FCA") published updated guidance on its approach to
advancing its objectives. This guidance was produced in response to
comments on the FCA's 2013 version. This guidance sets out what firms and consumers can expect from
the FCA and how they intend to deliver their statutory
responsibilities. It is based around three operational objectives
including protecting consumers, ensuring market integrity and
promoting effective competition.
