OSFI's role is to: * Supervise institutions and pension plans to determine whether they are in sound financial condition and meeting minimum plan funding requirements respectively, and are complying with their governing law and supervisory requirements; * Promptly advise institutions and plans in the event there are material deficiencies and take or require management, boards or plan administrators to take necessary corrective measures expeditiously; * Advance and administer a regulatory framework that promotes the adoption of policies and procedures designed to control and manage risk; * Monitor and evaluate system-wide or sectoral issues that may impact institutions negatively. OSFI’s legislation has due regard to the need to allow institutions to compete effectively and take reasonable risks. The legislation also recognizes that management, boards of directors and plan administrators are ultimately responsible and that financial institutions and pension plans can fail. The Office of the Chief Actuary, which is part of OSFI, provides actuarial services to the Government of Canada. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
