3 INTRODUCTION TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE The purpose of this questionnaire is to gain an understanding of the financial reporting requirements for the banks in a jurisdiction in addition to or instead of the requirements for commercial enterprises 1 in general. The term bank in this assessment is used to refer to institutions authorized to receive deposits and to lend money as defined by the legal framework in the jurisdiction. There are also questions in relation to the monitoring and enforcement capacity of the local banking supervisor in respect of financial reporting of banks specifically. Questions are based on the internationally-recognized Core Principles for Effective Banking supervision issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, in particular Principle 27 Financial reporting and external audit. The questionnaire is structured as follows: A. Overview of the banking sector B. Financial reporting requirements for banks C. Statutory audit and other forms of independent assurance D. Audit committees E. Filing/publication of financial statements F. Monitoring and enforcement - financial reporting G. Corporate Governance How should the questionnaire be completed? This questionnaire should be completed by counterparts from the banking supervisor. Where the response to a question is the same for banks as for commercial enterprises or for listed companies 2, please state this. If there are additional requirements or expected good practices for banks specifically, state the legal instrument or code that establishes the requirement and the date of enactment. 1 Refer to responses provided in Module B Institutional Framework B.1 Commercial Enterprises 2 Refer to responses provided in Module B Institutional Framework B.2 Listed Companies 3
