Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000

The Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 is an act of the United Kingdom parliament which created the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which regulates investment business, insurance and banking.
The Act made a number of important changes, including overhauling and unifying the arrangement for oversight of banking, insurance and other investment services; introducing new sanctions to restrain abuse of financial markets; establishing the Financial Services Authority as regulator of the UK's financial services industry; creating a statutory Financial Ombudsman Service to enable financial disputes to be resolved quickly and informally; establishing the Financial Services and Markets Tribunal; and creating a Financial Services Compensation Scheme to unify the arrangements for depositor and policyholder protection and investor compensation.
The Office Of Fair Trading (OFT) is responsible under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, which regulates financial services and markets, for keeping under review the rules and practices of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), recognized investment exchanges and recognized clearing houses.

Financial Stability Improvement Act

The Financial Stability Improvement Act was passed by the House Financial Services Committee on December 2, 2009 to put an end to “too big to fail” financial firms, and help prevent the failure of such institutions from becoming a systemic crisis. 
The bill would subject systemically risky firms to increased scrutiny and ensure that the collapse of a large, interconnected company such as American International Group (AIG) would not lead to another taxpayer bailout. It would hold the financial industry, rather than taxpayers, responsible for the cost of winding down a company. 
It also created the Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify and monitor financial firms. The FSOC is chaired by the Treasury secretary and includes the heads of the major financial regulators.

Financial Stability Oversight Council

The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) was created by Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, passed by the House Financial Services Committee on Dec. 2, 2009 to put an end to “too big to fail” financial firms. It was created as a nine-member council, led by the Treasury secretary, to look out for systemic risks. The FSOC subjects to Fed oversight any nonbank financial companies whose financial distress would pose risks to the financial stability of the United States. 
The Oversight Council's most important initial task is to attempt to spot “systemically important” institutions -- the potential future AIGs, Lehman Brothers or Long Term Capital Managements that escaped the regulation heaped on traditional deposit-taking banks but still wreaked havoc on the financial system. The Council created the Systemically Important Financial Market Utility designation to identify these organizations for more regulatory oversight.
== Products and Services ==
Besides making the Fed aware of distressed companies, the FSOC is also tasked with directing regulators to raise capital requirements. It relies on the work of the new Office of Financial Research, within the Treasury, to serve as an early warning system for systemic risk. 
== Key People ==
The council is under the authority of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Its 10 voting members include the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Credit Union Administration Board, among others.

Financial Supervision Commission

The Financial Supervision Commission (FSC) is a specialized government body, independent from executive authority, responsible for regulating and controlling the financial system of Bulgaria.
==Organization and Purpose==
The purposes of the FSC are to protect the interests of investors, insurers and insured persons and provide integrity, transparency and credibility in the financial markets
The FSC has these tools at its disposal: powers for legislative initiative, licensing control, responsibility for supervision of participants' activities and the ability to impose sanctions
==History==
The FSC, which was established on March 1, 2003, under the Financial Supervision Commission Act, unifies the regulatory functions that used to be carried out by the former State Securities Commission, the State Insurance Supervision Agency and the Insurance Supervision Agency.
The creation of the FSC is viewed as a fresh answer to new economic realities. The change affects not only how the markets are regulated, but also the overall organization of supervision. This integrated and neutral approach is expected to be instrumental in creating a transparent and open market where participants can freely compete with each other in the conditions of balanced regulatory control. The new regulatory body is expected to facilitate growth in the non-banking sector and enable the creation and promotion of financial products that assist economic growth and diversification in Bulgarian markets. FSC is a member of the Committee of European Securities Regulators and Apostol Apostolov represents FSC on the Committee.

Financial futures

Financial futures are futures contracts on a financial product, as opposed to (for example) a physical commodity like wheat, coffee, gold or pork bellies. Financial futures include futures on currencies, stock indices, and Treasury securities.
As in other futures contracts, the counterparties agree to trade the underlying financial product at a certain time for a certain price. Some financial futures are settled in cash, especially if the underlying assets are indices.

Financial statement

A financial statement is a single document produced quarterly or annually that details the general financial situation of a corporation at a given time, while a consolidated financial statement does the same for a parent company with several subsidaries. Investors use them to gauge the relative financial health of a company, since they offer readers snapshots of a business from different angles like cash flow and assets vs. liabilities.
Probably the most commonly-viewed financial statement is the balance sheet, which documents a corporation's assets and liabilities in two separate colums, left and right. The corporation's balance sheet is summarized by either a positive or negative figure along the statement's 'bottom line'. The two other common financial statements are the income statement, which reports business operating sales vs. expenses, and a cash flow statement, which document the cash movement in and out of the business.
== Big picture ==
More controversial is the consolidated financial statement, which attempts to summarize into a single document the financial statements of all a parent corporation's subsidiaries under rules of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This is more difficult than just adding all the numbers together because subsidiaries often do business with the parent company, are subject to different fiscal year-ends and have different minority-ownership structures.
