Financial Stability Board implementation standards set out detailed specific proposals on compensation governance, structure and disclosure to strengthen adherence to the FSB Principles for Sound Compensation Practices. Standards focus on areas in which especially rapid progress is needed, including: i) independent and effective board oversight of compensation policies and practices; ii) linkages of the total variable compensation pool to firm's overall performance and need to maintain sound capital base; iii) compensation structure and risk alignment, including deferral, vesting and clawback arrangements; iv) limitations on guaranteed bonuses; v) enhanced public disclosure and transparency of compensation; and vi) enhanced supervisory oversight of compensation, including corrective measures if necessary.

Is There a Need to Rethink the Supervisory Process?

WB discussion paper examining recent supervisory failings and recommending approaches to strengthen the effectiveness of supervision

World Bank paper discussing the reasons that regulation and supervision has proven ineffective in a number of countries, including a failure of supervisors to understand the business models of supervised institutions and the nature and extent of risk-taking that was occurring, and thus a failure to take appropriate remedial actions, such as forcing institutions to curb risky practices and increase capital requirements and loss provisions. Advocates a more proactive, interventionist supervisory approach with a strong on-site component, in order to understand the risks institutions are taking and to take appropriate actions when the risks are not properly managed.
