I don't see any regulatory teeth.
Because they are NOT a regulator. They are NOT government appointed, nor legally armed.
FCSA: "We are the UK's leading membership body for compliant umbrella companies, limited company accountants and CIS payroll providers"
Vs
Gas Safe: "Gas Safe Register is the only official gas registration body of gas businesses and engineers in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey. By law all gas businesses must be on the Gas Safe Register."
Gas safe is government "enabled" trade body and there is a legal requirement to be registered if you work on Gas equipment. FCSA is not.

Mind you at this minute (being very careful with the choice of word there) there is no better option for agencies to use as a check as to the honesty of the company so a self selected members club with intentionally high barrier to joining is just about the only option that doesn't involve insanely large amounts of paperwork.
