Title: Credit Rating Agencies--Conflicts of Interest 
Abstract:

The Office of Credit Ratings is considering recommending that the Commission propose rules and amendments designed to address the conflicts of interest associated with the issuer-pay business model (i.e., the NRSRO receives compensation from issuers and obligors for rating the securities of the issuer or the obligor) and increase transparency and promote competition for the ratings of securities and money markets instruments issued by an asset pool or as part of any asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities transaction.
