HM Government · verbatim extract Accepted
regulation but involve authorised firms will be a key aspect of the FCA’s surveillance, triage and interventions work as it evolves, as well as the work to develop our approach to assessing financial information at the gateway. In pursuit of the same goal, we are also taking steps to improve our partnerships with government and law enforcement. We will publish details of this strategic work in the perimeter report. The success of this strategic work will depend upon the extent to which, at a national level, tackling fraud is a collective effort. As alluded to in the response to recommendation 11 below, we need law enforcement partners to step in and step up. They have the necessary jurisdiction, and need to be supported with adequate resources if we are to work effectively together.
