1. Explain the regulations & supervisions of Financial Institutions

The goal of supervision is to assess the financial health of banking organizations as well
as their compliance with laws and regulations. And regulations issued by the Fed are
frequently in reaction to specific legislation passed by Congress. Countries should
ensure that financial institutions are subject to adequate regulation and supervision and
are effectively implementing the FATF Recommendations. Competent authorities or
financial supervisors should take the necessary legal or regulatory measures to prevent
criminals or their associates from holding, or being the beneficial owner of, a significant
or controlling interest, or holding a management function in, a financial institution.The
regulatory and supervisory procedures that apply for prudential objectives and are also
relevant to money laundering and terrorist financing should apply similarly for AML/CFT
purposes for financial institutions according to the Core Principles. Consolidated group
supervision should be used for AML/CFT objectives.

The implication of banking supervision is first, the trend of relying on internal risk
management systems and controls as the primary assurance of prudent operation
should be maintained. Second, create a capital-adequacy system that reinforces
incentives to correctly limit and price risk-taking throughout the cycle. Third, to
encourage efforts that allow national experts from both industrial and emerging
economies to develop and disseminate best practices. Financial institutions, particularly
banks, require supervision in order to remain in sync with market dynamics and
successfully integrate with other components of overall systemic stability. And there is a
genuine requirement for capital holding to be compatible with risk-taking.

objective of the IMF or International Monetary Fund is to strengthen human and
institutional capacity. This is very important for countries with previous policy failures,
weak institutions, or scarce resources. Through capacity development, member nations
can help strengthen and improve growth in their economies and create jobs. And it is
their job to maintain global monetary stability. As a result, its first task is to keep an eye
