About the FCA
.
The Intelligence department delivers insight and impact from intelligence to support FCA in its statutory objectives. The department contributes the intelligence picture to investigations into regulatory breaches, insider dealing and investment fraud; vets listing, authorisation and approved person applications and acts as the gateway into the FCA for whistleblowers to report misconduct and crime.
The department works across the FCA, providing specialist financial crime support to Authorisations, Supervision, Enforcement and Market Oversight. Intelligence also represents FCA interests externally to the wider crime and security community, including law enforcement and helps shape multi-agency campaigns against criminals in the regulated sector as well as wider economic crime policy. Intelligence also leads on sustaining international engagement with law enforcement agencies overseas. This will provide context for how the role fits into our wider work.
