On November 6, 2015, the FSB published a progress report on measures to reduce misconduct in the finance industry. The report, amongst other things, sets out the next steps that the FSB will take to address such misconduct. The FSB's aims include: (i) establishing a working group so that outlooks and good practices can be exchanged with a view to create possible necessary guidelines; (ii) examining the use of compensation tools for addressing misconduct, with a view to making recommendations on better practices if needed; and (iii) organizing a workshop so that national experiences can be shared on the role of enforcement powers of bank regulators in addressing misconduct by individuals.
