Financial Reporting Council Investigations
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is, like the FCA, a private limited company with direct statutory powers and some delegated statutory powers.
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is, like the FCA, a private limited company with direct statutory powers and some delegated statutory powers.
The enforcement function (Executive Counsel and Enforcement Division) investigates individual conduct (commonly, a lack of professional competence) when the FRC’s Conduct Committee decides the FRC should commence an investigation and refers it to that function.
Richardson Lissack’s approach to FRC enforcement investigations is holistic. Given the limited evidence-gathering powers at the FRC’s disposal, great care needs to be taken in how subjects engage with the interview process. Richardson Lissack has substantial experience of successfully guiding subjects of FRC enforcement investigations through what is a long and stressful process.
