This Document has been replaced by the BCBS document titled "Principles for effective supervisory colleges", dated 26 June 2014.
| In the aftermath of the recent financial crisis, a series of key initiatives have been undertaken with regard to the reform of international financial regulation and supervision. In particular, supervisors have taken steps to enhance the supervision of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). Effective supervisory colleges play a key role in such enhanced supervision. Supervisory colleges can enhance information-sharing between supervisors, help the development of a common understanding of risk in financial groups, promote a shared agenda for addressing risks and vulnerabilities, and provide a platform for communicating key supervisory messages among college members. | |
| In general, colleges of supervisors are permanent, but flexible, structures for collaboration, cooperation, coordination and information-sharing among the authorities responsible for and involved in the supervision of the different components of cross-border banking groups. While bilateral and multilateral arrangements among supervisors of global banking groups have existed for decades, many of these arrangements were formalized as supervisory colleges only in the years leading up to the financial crisis, with this trend accelerating thereafter. Colleges are now an important component of effective supervisory oversight of an international banking group. The G20 has re-emphasised the significance of colleges in the wake of the financial crisis. | |
