The FCA has identified potential harms arising from Appointed Representatives (ARs) and their principals, which operate in a wide range of financial markets. To address these risks of harm, an AR Department has been set up to undertake targeted action against the highest risk business models and Principals/ARs which represent the most significant risks of harm.

The AR Department has four teams – three Case Management Teams and a Strategy and Engagement Team, which are all supported by a Data Unit. The three Case Management Teams intervene in the most complex cases of serious harm and are responsible for delivering both reactive casework and proactive multi-firm projects. The Strategy and Engagement Team leads on the development of the strategic direction of the AR strategy to maximise our impact, engaging across the FCA to deliver a co-ordinated strategy.
