Overview
Financial Conduct Authority
Regulating financial services firms and financial markets in the UK.
The FCA regulates the conduct of 45,000 firms in the UK to ensure our financial markets are honest, fair and competitive.
The Proceeds of Crime Team is a specialist unit within the FCA, made up of Accredited Financial Investigators, Financial Intelligence Officers, Confiscators and professional support staff. Together, we deliver expert financial investigation capabilities that help the FCA meet its responsibilities under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA).
Our work plays a vital role in the FCA’s credible deterrence agenda, supporting the prosecution of criminal offences that fall within our statutory remit under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and the Financial Services Act 2012.
What will you be doing?
As an Accredited Financial Investigator, you will play a key role in delivering financial investigations that run alongside criminal cases led by our Enforcement Division. Your work will primarily focus on cases involving insider dealing, unauthorised business activity and other financial misconduct.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
* Tracing, restraining and confiscating the proceeds of criminal conduct, removing illicit gains from convicted individuals
* Compensating victims of financial crime wherever possible
* Enforcing confiscation orders, using the full range of powers available to ensure compliance
* Using civil recovery powers under Part 5 of POCA and related legislation to identify and forfeit criminal assets
In this role, you’ll work as part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team delivering complex investigations under POCA, while also contributing to wider enforcement and regulatory projects.
The role will necessitate some travel within the UK with a potential requirement to stay overnight on occasions. The role will also involve the exercise of civil powers under Part 5 POCA. Training will be provided.
