The Financial Services
Authority (FSA) is an independent non-governmental body, given
statutory powers by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. We are
a company limited by guarantee and financed by the financial services
industry. The Treasury appoints the FSA Board, which currently consists
of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, three Managing Directors, and
9 non-executive directors (including a lead non-executive member, the
Deputy Chairman). This Board sets our overall policy, but day-to-day decisions
and management of the staff are the responsibility of the Executive.
