Banking Regulation

Our

Expertise

“Five years ago, bank results were mostly shaped by normal commercial strategy and competitive pressures. Now, they are driven more driven by regulation and…tax imposts.”


Brian Hartzer, former Chairman of Westpac Banking Corporation, November 2019.

 

International Approaches to Banking Regulation

“There will be another financial crisis. This is almost a certainty with a fractional reserve banking system that relies on leverage and maturity mismatch. Our job as regulators and supervisors is not to prevent future crises, but to reduce their likelihood.”

 

William Coen, Security General of the BCBS, 

November 2018.

 

Following the 2018-2019 Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry, the regulatory environment for ADIs and FinTechs has become more challenging. 

​

The regulatory bar for ADI and FinTech Boards has increased significantly. ADI and FinTech Boards of today are expected not just to manage conventional quantitative risks (such as credit and market risk), but also increasingly existentialist ones (like CGRA and climate).
