The '''Ferengi Commerce Authority''' (also known as the '''FCA''') was an agency of the [[Ferengi]] government charged with overseeing business practices and the enforcement of [['''Ferengi Trade By-Laws]] ''' (including the [[''Ferengi Bill of Opportunities]]'') in the [[Ferengi Alliance]]. Under this authority the FCA had the ability to dispense or revoke the rights of any Ferengi to conduct business under the Trade By-Laws. Ferengi who refused to follow these rules could be barred from trade with other Ferengi, or anyone seeking to do business with the Alliance.

The FCA's primary offices were located on the 40th floor of the [[Tower of Commerce]], on [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ferenginar Ferenginar]]. To ask a question to the receptionist costs one [[latinum#slips|slip]] of [[latinum]]. To sit down in a chair costs three slips, and to stand costs 1 slip.

The FCA is governed by a [['''Board of Liquidators]] ''' that have the power to confirm or reject the appointment of a new [[Grand Nagus]].

Agents of the FCA were known as [[liquidator]]s"liquidators, " and were commonly feared by traditional Ferengi. [[Brunt]] was a particularly ambitious liquidator, who nearly managed to get himself appointed as the new Grand Nagus in [[2373]], and again in [[2374]].
