Martin Wheatley, who is now chief executive of the FCA, received £667,085 including a salary of £429,999. This is more than double that of Mr Sants. He was also the only director of staff to receive a performance-related bonus of £86,000.
The highest-paid non-executive director was John Griffith-Jones who received £111,259 including £99,167 salary. He was the only non-executive director to receive a pension. This higher pay reflected his role as chairman designate of the FCA.
The average fee for non-executive director is £35,000 per annum which is set by an independent panel.
