International Banking: U.S. Banking Supervision and International Supervisory Principles

摘要

To improve the supervision of international banking, the United States and 11 other countries participate in a group which coordinates bank supervision. The group, known as the Basle Committee, has agreed on a number of principles designed to ensure that international banking is adequately supervised. In the report, GAO identifies the extent to which the regulations, policies, and procedures of U.S. bank regulatory agencies are consistent with the principles agreed to by the Basle Committee.
