The complainant has requested a list of the current directors and an up to date summary of the accounts of a particular company as well as all correspondence between the FCA and this particular company from 2014. The FCA confirmed that the list of current directors and a summary of the accounts was exempt from disclosure under section 21(1) FOIA as this information was already reasonably accessible to the complainant. It confirmed that the remaining requested information was not held under section 1(1)(a) FOIA.  The Commissioner considers that the FCA was correct to apply section 21(1) FOIA in this case that that it was correct to confirm that it does not hold any further information under section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
