| | Office of International Affairs: Multilateral Policy Initiatives |
 | | The SEC is involved in discussions on policy initiatives with other securities regulators and a number of multilateral organizations designed to strengthen investor protection globally, facilitate cross border capital formation, improve market efficiency, and promote financial stability. |
 | | The efforts of the PIOB and IFAC relating to International Standards of Audit are supported and overseen by the Monitoring Group, comprising representatives of IOSCO, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, the World Bank, the Financial Stability Forum, and the European Commission. |
 | | In May 2004, the IOSCO Task Force developed a set of principles to serve as guidance for securities regulators and firms on client identification and verification, beneficial ownership, due diligence, suitability, recordkeeping and information sharing, while recognizing that the manner in which the principles are implemented must be tailored to market and regulatory circumstances. |
