@Regulatory Enero-Febrero 2009 (EN) |
The January/February issue of @Regulatory addresses a wide range of topics of interest for banking and investment management professionals.
Banking: The topics offered in this first newsletter of 2009 cover a broad spectrum. Included are articles on revised procedures issued by the federal banking agencies on the criteria for applying transfer risk ratings — “Streamlined Country Exposure Review”— and a look at the recently issued “Proposed Revisions to the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines,” which focus on the independence of the real estate appraisal and evaluation program. A shorter piece provides information on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as they apply to the banking industry.
Investment Management: The President’s Working Group on Financial Markets (PWG) has recently released two important documents – Best Practices for the Hedge Fund Industry and Principles and Best Practices for Hedge Fund Investors. The investment management article summarizes these best practices, with a concentrated focus on compliance and risk management.
We also have highlighted in our News Bulletins selected policy and supervisory guidance issues that are posing challenges across the banking, investment management, securities and insurance sectors.
