Competition and Markets Authority CMA
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is a non-ministerial Government department that works to promote competition for the benefit of consumers, both within and outside the UK. The CMA’s work is overseen by a Board and led by the Chief Executive and senior team. Decisions in some investigations are made by independent members of a CMA panel.
As well as imposing fines on companies breaking competition law, the CMA uses its power to seek the disqualification of directors.
