There have been 2 instances reported in the Financial Press of consumer watchdog the Financial Services Authority (FSA) wasting tax payers’ money.
Firstly New Model Adviser reported outgoing Chief Executive John Tiner has had 2 leaving parties costing £13 000, not bad for a man on £650 000 a year.
Secondly Money Marketing noted the FSA pays more than £13 million to external consultants.
