Financial institutions fail for many reasons. These failures are often the symptom or consequence of one or more underlying root causes. In some financial institutions, business model weaknesses may be combined with weak corporate governance and poor risk management.

This TC Note and accompanying podcast discusses ways in which supervisors can assess the business models of financial institutions, and can intervene to reduce or mitigate the risks inherent in a flawed business model.

This should help supervisory authorities to consider how to incorporate business model analysis within their supervisory frameworks, and how to engage with the boards and senior management of financial institutions on this topic.
