Sanctioning Guide

The GFSC’s approach to sanctioning action is set out in the Sanctioning Guide. The Guide sets out the GFSC’s cross-sectoral sanctioning powers and when and how the GFSC will consider exercising its sanctioning powers, including:

• Aggravating and mitigating factors that it will take into account and
• The methodology for calculating Administrative Penalties.

The GFSC must have regard to this Guide before exercising its sanctioning powers, in accordance with Section 158 of the Financial Services Act 2019.
