What Is The UK Regulatory Regime?
Seminar
Background:
The FSA was recently split into the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) under governmental changes that bring the regulator under the management of the Bank of England. But what is the UK regulatory drive focused upon these days, and is the FCA and PRA any different to the FSA? The changes come into effect from 2013, but what happens in the meantime? To answer these questions Margaret Cole, Interim Managing Director for the Conduct Business Unit at the FSA will talk us through the key developments in the UK regulatory regime. Margaret Cole joined the FSA in July 2005 as Director of Enforcement. She is a graduate in Law from New Hall, Cambridge and is a solicitor with over 20 years' experience in private practice, specialising in commercial litigation with an emphasis on financial services. She is also qualified asa Mediator with CEDR and the ADR Group.
From 1990 to 1995 Margaret was a Partner with Stephenson Harwood, where she was responsible for the recovery actions in relation to the Maxwell Pension Funds on behalf of the Pension Funds Trustee. In 1995 she joined the London Office of international law firm White & Case to found and head its Dispute Resolution Department.
In 2009 Margaret took over responsibility for the FSA’s Financial Crime Division which merged with the Enforcement Division. In 2010 she joined the FSA’s Board as Managing Director, Enforcement and Financial Crime. In April 2011 she assumed Interim responsibility for the new Conduct Business Unit which will form the core of the new Financial Conduct Authority.
