Financial Services Authority (FSA) – Company Profile

The importance of regulation has never been greater. As the UK’s sole financial services regulator, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) works to maintain market confidence, target and reduce financial crime, and protect consumers.

By the end of 2013, the FSA will be replaced by two new regulatory bodies. These will carry forward our philosophy of outcomes-based regulation, intensive firm supervision and credible deterrence:

1. The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), a subsidiary of the Bank of England, will be responsible for promoting the stable and prudent operation of the financial system through regulation of all deposit-taking institutions, insurers and investment banks.
2. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will be responsible for regulation of conduct in retail, as well as wholesale, financial markets and the infrastructure that supports those markets. The FCA will also have responsibility for the prudential regulation of firms that do not fall under the PRA’s scope.

The broad remit of the FSA means that we can offer diverse and unique internship roles that are not available in other organisations. Our summer internship is intended to give you real responsibility from day one, and offer you the opportunity to see what we do first hand. You will not only gain real insight into the entire financial industry, it will help you to decide whether our Graduate Development Programme is right for you.
