监管当局将加强金融服务机构高管的审查程序

自从金融危机以来，英国监管当局对于监管审查程序要求越来越严格。据统计，在众多申请金融业高管职位的人中，10%以上的人在监管当局审查程序中撤回申请。英国金融监管当局对于银行业的首席执行官、总裁以及其他一些高管职位的应聘人进行更加令人煎熬的面试。

据悉，英国监管当局强化高管审查程序的另一个原因是2010年英国合作银行前总裁Paul Flowers事件所暴露的问题。在该事件中，尽管Flowers此前有犯罪前科并且上任后又显现出业务知识不足等问题，但由于最初监管当局的审查程序不严，让Flowers顺利蒙混过关。

Regulators Toughen Vetting Process for Senior Financial Services Roles

More than one in 10 people picked for the top jobs in British finance pull out during a regulatory vetting process which has got tougher since the financial crisis. People put forward for chief executive, chairman and for a handful of other senior roles in banking now face a more grueling interview by British financial watchdogs.

This increased scrutiny also follows weaknesses in vetting exposed by problems at the Co-Op Bank, where the former chairman, Paul Flowers, was waved through in 2010 despite disclosing a criminal conviction and later showing little knowledge of banking.
