Editor's Note

This edition highlights some real variety in the last 4 months of enforcement related activity and news. At one end, we consider some culture-focussed developments. At the other, we examine the implications on enforcement of a US appeal judgment. And the period is bookended by two significant speeches that send messages on the FCA's future approach to enforcement, one speech on investigations and the other on enforcement trends. We hope you find this edition interesting.
