The FSA has the power to:

* Issue Fines
* Subject Businesses to Financial Penalties
* Issue Warning, Supervisory and Decision Notices
* Withdraw Financial Permissions and Authorisations

In cases of fraud, money laundering or other serious business crimes, the FSA may choose to prosecute through the UK courts, which could result in a custodial sentence or substantial fine for the individuals involved.
