例如,1979年《银行法》下的认可银行约翰逊·马斯银行(Johnson Mathey Bankers)的倒闭,暴露出英格兰银行对认可银行的信息收集权力的局限性。《宾海姆报告》(Bingham Report)在提及1995年信贷与商业国际银行(BCCI)和巴林银行的倒闭时,也将其作为质疑英格兰银行监管适当性的例证。

法案在1999年经过两个报告阶段后,于1999年6月呈交下议院审议,并在同年10月的下一个会期继续审议。2000年6月,法案在上议院经过最后一次审议,两天后获得王室同意。
FSMA的一部分规定了金融服务局的责任承担框架。第3至6条规定金融监管局的监管目标。责任承担的制度性机制由与第7至18条的组织与治理安排有关的一系列条款具体列明。

FOS的负责性由FSA和FOS交换的备忘录详细规定。根据FSMA,FSA有义务设立一家公司来运作金融调查员计划,并任免事会主席和董事(主席需获财政部批准)。他们的职位条件应能使其保持对FSA的独立性。另一方面,金融调查员由FOS任命,其职位条件也应能确保其独立性。FOS的经费由接受FOS管辖的公司缴纳的年费(或称一般征款)和FOS受理的每件投诉所涉金融机构缴纳的案件费(或称使用费)组成。这使得消费者可由免费使用该系统。FSMT由FSMA直接规定设立,旨在确保审理和上诉中的独立性。FSMT独立于FSA,由上议院大法官部(Lord Chancellor’s Department)管理。大法官有权制订法庭的诉讼规则,
宪法和程序性问题则根据FSMA的规定处理。FSMT具有初审权和上述权。FSMT的一般职责是确定FSA将要采取的适当行动,其决定交予FSA执行。FSA必须按照FSMT的决定或指示行事。
