FCA disciplinary action

FCA action

fine
1
in fines
£5.25m
most recent
January 2009
  • Fined £5.25m on 6 January 2009
    On 6 January 2009 the FSA imposed a financial penalty of £5.25 million on Aon Limited (Aon Ltd) in respect of its breaches of Principle 3 of the FSA's Principles for Businesses (the Principles) between 14 January 2005 and 30 September 2007. Aon Ltd agreed to settle at an early stage of the FSA's investigation. It therefore qualified for a 30% (stage 1) reduction in penalty, pursuant to the FSA's executive settlement procedures. Were it not for this discount, the FSA would have imposed a financial penalty of £7.5 million on Aon Ltd. During the Relevant Period, Aon Ltd breached Principle 3 by failing to take reasonable care to organise and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems. Aon Ltd did not take reasonable care to establish and maintain effective systems and controls for countering the risks of bribery and corruption associated with making payments to non FSA-authorised overseas third parties (Overseas Third Parties) who assisted Aon Ltd in winning business from overseas clients, particularly in high risk jurisdictions. Aon Ltd failed properly to assess the risks involved in its dealings with Overseas Third Parties and failed to implement effective controls to mitigate those risks. The FSA's Final Notice, containing more details, is displayed on the FSA website.

The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
