69U-140.003 Principles of Adequate Supervision of an
International Banking Corporation’s Foreign Establishments.
(1) No change.
(2) Section 663.05(9), F.S., requires OFR to establish
general principles to evaluate the adequacy of supervision of an
international banking corporation's foreign establishments.
These principles must be based upon the need for cooperative
supervisory efforts and consistent regulatory guidelines and
shall address, at a minimum, the capital adequacy, asset quality,
management, earnings, liquidity, internal controls, audits and
foreign exchange operations and positions of the international
banking corporation.
(2)(3) An international banking corporation with foreign
establishments is considered adequately supervised if it is
subject to consolidated supervision. Consolidated supervision
is supervision which enables the central bank or bank regulatory
agency of the home country (home country supervisor) to
evaluate:
(a) through (b) No change.
(3)(4) An international banking corporation with no
foreign establishments is considered adequately supervised if
the home country supervisor can evaluate the safety and
soundness of the international banking corporation's operations
through its offices or subsidiaries located in the home country.
(4)(5) The home country supervisor is deemed to be able
to evaluate the safety and soundness of the international
banking corporation, including its offices or subsidiaries, if the
home country supervisor maintains information on the
following regulatory components:
(a) through (d) No change.
(e) The capital adequacy of the international banking
corporation, its offices or subsidiaries as specified by the capital
adequacy guidelines in the home country or the capital
adequacy guidelines established by the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision, Basel III: A global regulatory framework
for more resilient banks and banking systems Basle Committee
on Bank Supervision (May 1983), which is incorporated by
reference and available by mail from the Office of Financial
Regulation, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-
0371;
(f) through (h) No change.
(5)(6) Adequate supervision as described in subsections (2)
(3) and (3) (4) does not necessarily require supervision of
companies which control the international banking corporation
or require supervision of companies under common control
with the international banking corporation but not in the
international banking corporation’s chain of control. However,
in cases where a holding company is the only controlling
element in a banking group, holding company supervision by a
home country supervisor shall be required when it is needed to
ensure consolidated supervision of all banking entities in the
group.
(6)(7) In cases where a holding company is not supervised,
adequate supervision shall be considered to exist if the home
country supervisor regulates transactions between the
international banking corporation and controlling persons or
entities under common control.
(7)(8) An international banking corporation, its offices or
subsidiaries, shall be considered adequately supervised if it is
subject to comprehensive supervision. Comprehensive
supervision is supervision which ensures that the supervisory
processes and procedures are designed to inform the home
country supervisor about the international banking
corporation’s: financial condition, including capital position;
asset quality; and the capability of management.
(8)(9) Comprehensive supervision does not require the
home country supervisor to conduct on-site examinations of the
international banking corporation or its offices or subsidiaries.
However, at a minimum, it requires that the home country
supervisor:
(a) through (b) No change.
