AbstractIn Europe part of the rule-making and the whole enforcement of financial services regulation still take place at national level. For this reason, mutual recognition of national financial laws remains an element of central importance in the creation and regulation of a European market in this field. This article seeks to contribute to the analysis of such legal instrument, as several aspects of its functioning often appear unclear. The article starts by analysing the principle of mutual recognition as developed by the European Court of Justice. An important distinction is drawn between such judicially created principle and the principle of mutual recognition applied by the EC legislator. The article then looks at the question of why mutual recognition has not succeeded as a regulatory mechanism of financial services market integration, and at the role of mutual recognition after the introduction of the so-called ‘Lamfalussy’ law-making process to the financial services sector.

Secara kelembagaan, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan berada di luar pemerintah, yang dimaknai bahwa Otoritas Jasa Keuangan tidak menjadi bagian dari kekuasaan pemerintah. Otoritas Jasa Keuangan dibentuk dengan tujuan agar keseluruhan kegiatan di dalam sektor jasa keuangan terselenggara secara teratur, adil, transparan, dan akuntabel; mampu mewujudkan sistem keuangan yang tumbuh secara berkelanjutan dan stabil; serta mampu melindungi kepentingan konsumen dan masyarakat. Otoritas Jasa Keuangan bertugas tidak hanya mengatur dan mengawasi perbankan saja, tetapi juga mencakup pasar modal, perasuransian, dana pensiun, lembaga pembiayaan, serta lembaga jasa keuangan lainnya.    THE ROLE OF FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY ON SUPERVISION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN INDONESIA This research aims to explain the role of the Financial Services Authority as an independent institution in supervising financial service institutions in Indonesia as well as the authority of the Financial Services Authority as regulated in Law Number 21 of 2011 concerning the Financial Services Authority. The method used in this research is normative legal research. From the research results, it is explained that the Financial Services Authority is an independent institution and free from interference from other parties, which has the function, task and authority to regulate, supervise, examine and investigate financial service institutions such as banks. The legal basis for the establishment of the Financial Services Authority is Law Number 21 of 2011. Institutionally, the Financial Services Authority is outside the government, which means that the Financial Services Authority is not part of the government's power. The Financial Services Authority was formed with the aim that all activities in the financial services sector are carried out in an orderly, fair, transparent and accountable manner; able to realize a financial system that grows in a sustainable and stable manner; and able to protect the interests of consumers and society. The Financial Services Authority is tasked with not only regulating and supervising banking, but also covering the capital market, insurance, pension funds, financing institutions, and other financial service institutions.

The number of cross-sectoral issues in the financial services sector including Islamic banking, which includes moral hazard measures, lack of optimal protection of financial services, and the disruption of financial system stability increasingly encourage the need for the establishment of a supervisory institution in the integrated financial services sector. The source of moral damage in the management of the economy encourages the establishment of newsupervision institutions, more accountable and has a tighter function in overseeing the financial system so that it can better guarantee the achievement of financial system stability. Based on that, Financial Services Authority was formed. Various regulations that have been and will be made by the Financial Services Authority related to Islamic banking are expected to be able to provide protection for the Islamic banking industry as well as spur the development of Islamic banking in Indonesia. More comprehensive and effective supervision of sharia banking is needed along with the increase in market players, product / service variants, and increasingly innovative and complex technological advancements. During this time the existence of Financial Services Authority for Islamic banking has not felt its existence. Financial Services Authority Law is still silent on sharia-based financial services.

This chapter examines the role of the FCA and the PRA as prosecuting authorities and their right to bring criminal proceedings in pursuit of their regulatory objectives as enshrined in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA). The FCA and the PRA are not the only agencies responsible for the prosecution of criminal offences in the financial services sector; the jurisdiction of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in particular often overlaps with that of the FCA and the two agencies can work in tandem. Meanwhile, although a discrete area of criminal practice, the regulators’ powers to administer a caution to an offender should not be overlooked—particularly in the context of ongoing investigations. Acceptance of a caution can provide an offender with a way of avoiding conviction and sanction whilst offering the prosecutor an ‘easy win’ without the need for costly court proceedings. The chapter then considers key procedural issues as well as the importance of evidence collection and deployment in financial services prosecutions.

The financial services sector, particularly with respect to today’s banking industry, is aiming to make a digital transition. Sustainable reporting is a holistic new reporting approach in banking and has only become partially mandatory for the sector. Thus, this paper makes a contribution to the current analysis approach and further development of the German Sustainability Code as well as associated legal approaches. It concerns the assessment of mandatory sustainable reporting in the light of constantly changing market conditions and stricter legal requirements for stakeholder data responsibility. In specific, it focuses on a digital evolving business environment and is intended to provide an insight into the perception of the topic of digitalization in the banking sector. The assessment is based on the structure of the German Sustainability Code. Based on 113 bank reports, a multiple regression analysis of 1410 codings of the keyword ‘digital’ is carried out. The results show that banks partly and not fully address digital issues in their reporting. It transpires that the emphasis is on seven criteria, while social elements are totally ignored. The paper shows a structural inequality within sustainable bank reporting with regard to digitalization. It also shows that issues are not adequately addressed and covered in legal reporting standards and that the provision of information to stakeholders on specific issues is largely undefined.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of performance measurement systems in organisational effectiveness in the context of the financial services sector within a developing country. Design/methodology/approach – Using the mail survey method data were collected from 69 financial institutions operating in Nepal. Multivariate analysis, in particular multiple regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. Findings – The results suggest that non-financial measures and feedback are tightly intertwined with organisational effectiveness. While institutions are focused on using the performance measures concerning internal business process perspective, less emphasis is placed on using customer and employee-related performance measures because they are considered less significant to organisational effectiveness. The findings also reveal that strategy-related feedback is considered more critical by management, as opposed to performance and staff. The study also provides evidence that 40.58 per cent of the financial institutions in Nepal had implemented the Balanced Scorecard, which is considered to be high when compared with other developing countries. Practical implications – The findings provide managers with valuable insights pertaining to the role of non-financial performance measures and the importance of feedback in improving organisational effectiveness, which could assist them in (re) aligning their performance measurement practices. Originality/value – The findings of this study contributes to the limited management accounting literature on performance measurement and the impact on organisational effectiveness by providing evidence from the financial services sector within the context of a developing country.

This contribution is the first to explore in depth the various financial services sector organizations focused on cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection. We first discuss how governance over security and the protection of critical infrastructure has increased the focus on the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in addressing issues of cybersecurity. We continue by highlighting three sector-led bodies—the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council, and the Financial Systemic Analysis and Resilience Center—and how each facilitates PPPs to address cyber challenges primarily in the areas of information sharing, policy coordination, and threat analytics, respectively. The chapter concludes with a discussion of lessons learned and remarks on future research avenues in the area of cybersecurity governance. These lessons include: 1) validation of the PPP model, with some important caveats, 2) the need to extend PPPs beyond information sharing to address systemic risks, and 3) the limitations of PPPs in regulated industries like finance.

This article deals with the transposition of European Union (EU) criminal policy to national justice systems, taking, as an example, the surrender of prosecuted persons under the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) procedure. In particular, attention is focused on the question about the limits of the application of mutual recognition in the event of executing the EAW that is also linked to the increasing role of punishment, as a measure for rehabilitation and reintegration of the offender into society. The author argues that national citizenship should be treated very carefully by judicial authorities in the EU Member States which are deciding on the surrender of the prosecuted person under the EAW procedure. This care should apply whether surrender is for the purposes of criminal prosecution, the execution of custodial sentences or in the case of the transfer of sentenced persons to their State of nationality under Council Framework Decision 2008/909/JHA. With this aim, the first section explains the possible functions of punishment in contemporary penology; the second section is devoted to the Court of Justice of the EU rulings which are crucial for the further developments of EU criminal policy; and the third section refers to the Polish experience in surrendering own nationals for the purposes of prosecution in the EAW issuing Member State.
