ENF 18.6 Other powers that may be relevant
The FSA's powers to appoint investigators are set out in ENF 2. In particular, under section 168(4)(d) of the Act (Appointment of persons to carry out investigations in particular cases) the FSA may appoint investigators if there appear to be circumstances suggesting that an individual is not a fit and proper person to be involved in the discharge of any function in relation to exempt regulated activities.
Where the FSA considers that it may be more appropriate to take action against particular individuals engaged in the carrying out of exempt regulated activities within the member of a profession concerned (see ENF 18.4.3 G), it may consider using its power to make prohibition orders against the relevant individuals (see ENF 8 (Prohibition of individuals)).
