Policy practice, however, makes a distinction between the setting of rules that apply to banks (regulation) and the oversight of their safety and soundness (prudential supervision), since the latter often entails a discretionary component or "supervisory judgment". The global framework for banking regulation and supervision, prepared by the <a href="/wiki/Basel_Committee_on_Banking_Supervision" title="Basel Committee on Banking Supervision">Basel Committee on Banking Supervision</a>, makes a distinction between three "pillars", namely regulation (Pillar 1), supervisory discretion (Pillar 2), and <a href="/wiki/Market_discipline" title="Market discipline">market discipline</a> enabled by appropriate disclosure requirements (Pillar 3).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bank licensing, which sets certain requirements for starting a new bank, is closely connected with supervision and usually performed by the same public authority. Licensing provides the licence holders the right to own and to operate a bank. The licensing process is specific to the regulatory environment of the jurisdiction where the bank is located. Licensing involves an evaluation of the entity's intent and the ability to meet the regulatory guidelines governing the bank's operations, financial soundness, and managerial actions. The supervisor monitors licensed banks for compliance with the requirements and responds to breaches of the requirements by obtaining undertakings, giving directions, imposing penalties or (ultimately) revoking the bank's license. Bank supervision may be viewed as an extension of the licence-granting process. Supervisory activities involve on-site inspection of the bank's records, operations and processes or evaluation of the reports submitted by the bank.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Arguably the most important requirement in bank regulation that supervisors must enforce is maintaining <a href="/wiki/Capital_requirement" title="Capital requirement">capital requirements</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>As banking regulation focusing on key factors in the financial markets, it forms one of the three components of <a href="/wiki/Financial_law" title="Financial law">financial law</a>, the other two being <a href="/wiki/Case_law" title="Case law">case law</a> and self-regulating market practices.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Compliance with bank regulation is ensured by <a href="/wiki/Bank_supervision" class="mw-redirect" title="Bank supervision">bank supervision</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Banking_regulation_and_supervision&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Banking regulation and supervision has emerged mostly in the 19th century and especially the 20th century, even though embryonic forms can be traced back to earlier periods.

Some of these requirements may include: </p> <ul><li>to be a body corporate (i.e. not an individual, a partnership, trust or other unincorporated entity)</li> <li>to be incorporated locally, and/or to be incorporated under as a particular type of body corporate, rather than being incorporated in a foreign jurisdiction</li> <li>to have a minimum number of directors</li> <li>to have an organizational structure that includes various offices and officers, e.g. corporate secretary, treasurer/CFO, auditor, Asset Liability Management Committee, Privacy Officer, Compliance Officer etc. Also the officers for those offices may need to be approved persons, or from an approved class of persons</li> <li>to have a constitution or articles of association that is approved, or contains or does not contain particular clauses, e.g. clauses that enable directors to act other than in the best interests of the company (e.g. in the interests of a parent company) may not be allowed.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Financial_reporting_and_disclosure_requirements">Financial reporting and disclosure requirements</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Banking_regulation_and_supervision&amp;action=edit&amp;section=8" title="Edit section: Financial reporting and disclosure requirements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Among the most important regulations that are placed on banking institutions is the requirement for disclosure of the bank's finances. Particularly for banks that trade on the public market, in the US for example the <a href="/wiki/Securities_and_Exchange_Commission" class="mw-redirect" title="Securities and Exchange Commission">Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</a> requires management to prepare annual financial statements according to a <a href="/wiki/International_Financial_Reporting_Standards" title="International Financial Reporting Standards">financial reporting standard</a>, have them audited, and to register or publish them. Often, these banks are even required to prepare more frequent financial disclosures, such as <a href="/wiki/Form_10-Q" title="Form 10-Q">Quarterly Disclosure Statements</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Sarbanes%E2%80%93Oxley_Act" title="Sarbanes–Oxley Act">Sarbanes–Oxley Act</a> of 2002 outlines in detail the exact structure of the reports that the SEC requires.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In addition to preparing these statements, the SEC also stipulates that directors of the bank must attest to the accuracy of such financial disclosures. Thus, included in their annual reports must be a report of management on the company's internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include: a statement of management's responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company; management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the company's most recent fiscal year; a statement identifying the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting; and a statement that the registered public accounting firm that audited the company's financial statements included in the annual report has issued an attestation report on management's assessment of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Under the new rules, a company is required to file the registered <a href="/wiki/Accountant" title="Accountant">public accounting firm's</a> attestation report as part of the annual report. Furthermore, the SEC added a requirement that management evaluate any change in the company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during a <a href="/wiki/Fiscal_year" title="Fiscal year">fiscal quarter</a> that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Credit_rating_requirement">Credit rating requirement</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Banking_regulation_and_supervision&amp;action=edit&amp;section=9" title="Edit section: Credit rating requirement"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Banks may be required to obtain and maintain a current credit rating from an approved <a href="/wiki/Credit_rating_agency" title="Credit rating agency">credit rating agency</a>, and to disclose it to investors and prospective investors. Also, banks may be required to maintain a minimum credit rating. These ratings are designed to provide color for prospective clients or investors regarding the relative risk that one assumes when engaging in business with the bank. The ratings reflect the tendencies of the bank to take on high risk endeavors, in addition to the likelihood of succeeding in such deals or initiatives. The rating agencies that banks are most strictly governed by, referred to as the <a href="/wiki/Big_Three_(credit_rating_agencies)" title="Big Three (credit rating agencies)">"Big Three"</a> are the <a href="/wiki/Fitch_Group" class="mw-redirect" title="Fitch Group">Fitch Group</a>, <a href="/wiki/Standard_and_Poor%27s" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard and Poor&#39;s">Standard and Poor's</a> and <a href="/wiki/Moody%27s" class="mw-redirect" title="Moody&#39;s">Moody's</a>. These agencies hold the most influence over how banks (and all public companies) are viewed by those engaged in the public market. Following the <a href="/wiki/2007%E2%80%932008_financial_crisis" title="2007–2008 financial crisis">2007–2008 financial crisis</a>, many economists have argued that these agencies face a serious conflict of interest in their core business model.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Clients pay these agencies to rate their company based on their relative riskiness in the market.

In essence, they forced European banks, and, more importantly, the <a href="/wiki/European_Central_Bank" title="European Central Bank">European Central Bank</a> itself, to rely more than ever on the standardized assessments of "credit risk" marketed aggressively by two US credit rating agencies – Moody's and S&amp;P, thus using <a href="/wiki/Public_policy" title="Public policy">public policy</a> and ultimately taxpayers' money to strengthen anti-competitive duopolistic practices akin to <a href="/wiki/Exclusive_dealing" title="Exclusive dealing">exclusive dealing</a>.
