Wood Group Under Investigation by UK Financial Regulator
June 27, 2025 - 23:22
Wood Group has announced that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is conducting an investigation into its operations covering the period from January 1, 2023, to November 7, 2024. While the company has not provided additional specifics regarding the nature of the review, it has expressed its commitment to fully cooperate with the FCA throughout the process.
In a parallel development, the FCA has acknowledged the investigation but has chosen not to disclose further details at this time. This scrutiny comes as Wood Group is also in the spotlight as a potential acquisition target for Dubai-based Sidara, adding another layer of complexity to its current situation.
The implications of this investigation could be significant for Wood Group, impacting its reputation and business operations as it navigates both regulatory challenges and potential changes in ownership. Stakeholders will be closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds.
