Banking regulation and supervision refers to a form of financial regulation which subjects banks to certain requirements,restrictions and guidelines,enforced by a financial regulatory authority generally referred to as banking supervisor,with semantic variations across jurisdictions. By and large,banking regulation and supervision aims at ensuring that banks are safe and sound and at fostering market transparency between banks and the individuals and corporations with whom they conduct business.
In general,compliance means conforming to a rule,such as a specification,policy,standard or law. Compliance has traditionally been explained by reference to deterrence theory,according to which punishing a behavior will decrease the violations both by the wrongdoer and by others. This view has been supported by economic theory,which has framed punishment in terms of costs and has explained compliance in terms of a cost-benefit equilibrium. However,psychological research on motivation provides an alternative view:granting rewards or imposing fines for a certain behavior is a form of extrinsic motivation that weakens intrinsic motivation and ultimately undermines compliance.
