FCA stands for both the Financial Conduct Authority and Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Each represents significant entities in the realms of finance regulation and professional accounting standards, respectively.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is a regulatory body established in April 2013, responsible for overseeing the conduct of financial services firms in the UK. It aims to ensure integrity, protect consumers, and promote competition within financial markets.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI) operates in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, offering ACA or FCA designations to its members.
