History
Following the enactment of the Financial Services Act 1986, the Investment Management Regulatory Organisation was one of a number of Self Regulatory Organisations established to regulate companies dealing in investments as a means of protecting investors. Its responsibilities were transferred to the Financial Services Authority in December 2001, following the Chancellor of the Exchequer's decision to merge banking supervision and investment services regulation.
