Abstract:
Incentive compensation practices in the financial services industry contributed to the financial crisis that began in 2007. Bank employees too often were rewarded for increasing short-term revenue or profit without adequate regard to the risks taken to achieve those results. These practices exacerbated the risks and losses at a number of banking organizations and resulted in the misalignment of the interests of employees with the long-term safety and soundness of their organizations. Issuance of the guidance was intended to bring incentive compensation practices under control.

Short Statement:
The increase in burden is due to the integration of the OTS with the OCC. The additional respondents are entities formerly regulated by the OTS. Incentive compensation practices in the financial services industry contributed to the financial crisis that began in 2007. Bank employees too often were rewarded for increasing short-term revenue or profit without adequate regard to the risks taken to achieve those results. These practices exacerbated the risks and losses at a number of banking organizations and resulted in the misalignment of the interests of employees with the long-term safety and soundness of their organizations. It was urgent that incentive compensation practices be brought under control through supervisory action. This Guidance fulfills the commitment made by President Obama and the Department of the Treasury at the G-20 meeting in September 2009 to implement the Financial Stability Board's Compensation Principles.
