This library holds 48 FCA records, filed between 2013-02-06 and 2026-01-27, drawn from 1 source. They are records of documents the FCA published, not a count of everything it did, and the gaps listed below say what is missing.

"Checked" means an AI agent compared the record with the regulator's own document; no lawyer has reviewed it. A penalty counts only where the document states one; FCA penalties are in GBP as published and are never converted or added to US dollar totals.

Sources

First and last dates are the earliest and latest filing dates among the records from each source, so they show what was collected, not when the source began or ended.

Filing year is when the document was published. The collection window starts in 2013 for the standing sources, so earlier years are thin by design, and the latest year is partial.
