Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Pat Farrell:

We did call it out ... sorry, we did call it out and I refer to it in my statement, actually, and it also is redolent through all of the financial services consultative industry panel reports, where we did on a number of occasions call for a review of the allocation of resources between prudential and consumer. We also called out the fact that there was feedback from firms, particularly more complex firms, that they would have a desire that there would be more a focus put on ensuring that the people who were regulating them would have a deeper and more detailed understanding of their actual particular business models. So there were some comments and observations made in that space.
