The Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulates SFC. Throughout its seventeen-year history, the company has always complied with the regulations and standards enforced first by the AFBD and later by the Securities and Futures Authority (SFA).

The FSA is an independent non-governmental body that assumed statutory powers by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Its duties include the supervision of exchanges, settlement houses and other market infrastructure providers, as well as market surveillance and transaction monitoring.

The FSA secures consumers' protection, ensuring that firms satisfy and maintain a rigorous set of criteria, including honesty, competence and financial soundness, in order to engage in regulated activity. Failure to meet these criteria can result in disciplinary action and prosecution and the restoration of funds to consumers.
