Reference Case Number: FOI7571
Freedom of Information: Right to know request:
I would like to request the FCA's data on the total number of firms that are authorised to give financial advice that have been contacted by the FCA regarding misleading financial promotions online between 1 January 2019 and 1 August 2020.
I request this information in an email response, in a table where convenient, but otherwise at the FCA's discretion.
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.
If you need any clarification on any part of my request then please contact me using this email address. Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way before the twentieth working day.
If for any reason you are not able to fulfil all parts of my request, please respond to those that you can respond to, setting out your reasons for not responding to the entire request.
I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. I would like this communication to be delivered via email.
