"Regulations around the world":
A comparison of global regulatory responses to the financial crisis

Each quarter FRSGlobal Centre of Risk & Regulatory Excellence (CoR²E) Experts present the results of ongoing research into the major regulations impacting global financial services institutions.

For those with international operations it’s difficult to keep up-to-date with the changing regulatory requirements. FRSGlobal's CoR²Experts monitor regulations in more than 100 countries. This webinar series compiled and presented by the firm’s most senior CoR²Expert(s) will give anyone involved in the regulation of an international financial firm an excellent insight into what is in store for them over 2010 and beyond.

Senior CoR²Experts have identified the Top 15 regulatory issues that firms should be concerned with, and these seminars present a summary of the positions held in relation to each of these regulations by the regulatory bodies from the UK, US, EU, BIS and others.

The results of the CoR²E research is presented in a detailed spreadsheet which is only made available to webinar attendees. The document includes:

• 15 key areas of regulatory response: Capital adequacy, Accounting, Liquidity, Institutional and geographic coverage, Deposit insurance, Bank resolution, Credit rating agencies, Regulation of financial markets, Remuneration, Consumer protection, Macro-prudential analysis, Supervisory approach and Risk management and governance, Insurance, reporting and disclosure.
• Source document references
• A summary of the similarities/differences between each region's regulatory approach - for each of the categories
• Information as to where to look for future developments

Attendees automatically receive a copy of the research, the PowerPoint slides used during the presentation, and a link to a recording of the webinar. This information is ONLY available to attendees, and should remain confidential.

Blair-Ford said: "Those responsible for tracking and understanding the regulatory environment have a very difficult time at present. The different policy making bodies are coming out with a deluge of proposals, but each with a different language and tradition for describing similar concepts. There are also differences in meaning and emphasis to contend with. I put this report together to obtain a holistic view of what has been proposed, and ultimately help the industry make informed decisions about future requirements."
