The Financial Conduct Authority, a British watchdog, said that on Friday it identified possible “regulatory violations” in NatWest’s handling of the decision to close Nigel Farage’s account as former leader of the Brexit party.

Separately, the lender (NWG.L.) said that a preliminary review into Farage’s ‘debunking” found that the bank had made mistakes in its treatment of Farage and that it would implement the recommendations of the report.

NatWest has said that it will announce a decision “as quickly as possible” on whether or not to dock former CEO Alison Rose’s pay.

In July, the British bank hired Travers Smith to review its decision to close Farage’s account. This led to a political backlash that ultimately cost Alison Rose her position as CEO after more than 30 years of service with the lender.

The FCA stated in a press release that “this report and the additional information we considered have highlighted potential regulatory violations and a number areas for improvement.” It added that it was reviewing the governance, systems, and controls of the firm.

Brian Moynihan, CEO of the company, told analysts that he would double the team’s size again. He did not specify staffing numbers.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, who recently reported earnings, was more optimistic than his peers despite the fact that investment banking fees were largely flat in the third quarter.

He told analysts in a conference call after earnings that if conditions remain favorable, he expects a continued recovery of both the capital markets and strategic activities.
