Hughes said Hunt and Moffat's appointments completed a highly skilled leadership team with a considerable depth of experience and expertise.

"The Board and I are delighted Belinda and Adam are joining the team. Clearly our strategic capabilities are key, enabling us to identify systemic risks ahead of time and act accordingly. In the enforcement space we have inherited a heavy historical caseload in the shape of finance company investigations. We are looking to use our resources wisely, efficiently and with maximum impact.
