The accounting and professional services firm has added a former UK financial regulator to its partnership.

PwC has appointed William Amos, the Financial Conduct Authority's former director of wholesale banking and investment management, as partner.

Amos, a former Bank of England economist, was appointed to the role at the FCA over two years ago. He left the watchdog earlier this year amid a reshuffle of senior positions, including the appointment of Megan Butler as director of supervision for investment, wholesale and specialists and Mark Steward as director of enforcement and market oversight.

As part of PwC's financial services risk and regulation team, Amos focuses on wholesale conduct advisory services.

The move comes after Clive Adamson, the former FCA director of supervision, took up board positions at Ashmore Group, Prudential and JP Morgan International Bank earlier this year.
