POST-CRASH INVESTIGATIONS BY FME

Investigations have turned up some long-running
breaches of the law
 Cases under investigation involve widespread fraud
stretching back for much of this decade
 Market manipulation, insider trading, falsified reports
 In some cases, fraud appears to have been so prevalent
as to have become normal business practice
 Fraud was perpetrated against the investing public, against the country
as a whole, and against international lenders and bondholders

The banking crisis in Iceland merely intensified in October 2008
 The crisis was well underway by the middle of 2006.
 The groundwork for the crisis was laid years before 2006, at the end of
the previous decade

LOOKING AHEAD


Stepped-up supervision
 On-site inspections
More forceful regulatory actions
Greater deployment of IT
Higher level of international cooperation
New skills added to toolkit
 Forensic accounting
New provisions in law
 Wider authority in dealing with bad practices
 Separation of commercial banking and investment banking (?)
