Fed Launches Review of Practices for Supervising Big Banks
Keywords:
U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Yellen launches a sweeping review of practices for supervision of large banks in Nov. 2014. The review is designed to check "whether there are adequate methods for decisionmakers to obtain all necessary information to make supervisory assessments and determinations," and whether channels exist for decision makers to take into account divergent views when important issues arise. This is in response to questions about how the culture at the New York Federal Reserve may have stifled differing opinions on how banks should be supervised and what is proper information sharing between regulators and banks.

Fed governor Daniel Tarullo and his organization now tackle the tasks and work with Fed chairman Bernanke on regulatory matters, bringing responsibility and accountability in one location.

Fed chairman Bernanke and Governor Tarullo set up the LISCC in 2010 to provide expert supervision at Fed headquarters that reports to them.

This is critical to effective supervision of large banks.

Book Review: 'Stress Test' by Timothy F. Geithner
Wall Street Journal 05/12/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
