Whilst the FCA is an independent, non-governmental regulator, the Treasury, as the department jointly responsible for economic crime policy with Home Office, is in regular contact with the FCA on matters to do with online financial crime. I can confirm that my officials hold regular discussions with their FCA counterparts on these issues, including on the delivery of the Economic Crime Plan, the prevention of online harms, including financial promotions and online fraud, and issues related to anti-money laundering supervision. In addition, the FCA is a member of the Economic Crime Strategic Board, through which the government, regulators, law enforcement, and industry discuss and drive forward the UK\u2019s overall response to economic crime.<\/p>
