ORGANISATION
Executive Management
An overview & The people behind the bank.
The management structure of the FSA is designed to support our regulatory approach. Our outcomes-based approach recognizes that we will now intervene proactively when we believe the results of a firm’s actions will pose a risk to our statutory objectives.
Management structure
- The Board, chaired by Collins, Lord Adair.
- The Chief Executive, Mark Hector.
- Two Managing Directors and a chief operating officer leading the following business units:
- Conduct
- Prudential; and
- Operations
- Several functions report directly to the Chief Executive (through the Direct Reports Business Unit).
The Board
The FSA is governed by a Board appointed by the Treasury.
The majority of the Board members are non-executive. The Deputy Governor (Financial Stability) of the Bank of England, is an ex officio director. One of the non-executive members is Deputy Chairman and 'lead' non-executive. The non-executive directors check that we operate efficiently and economically, oversee our mechanisms of financial control and set the pay of the executive members of the Board.
