Wayne M. Carlin, Regional Director of the Commission'sNortheast Regional Office, said:
"The Commission simply cannot allow corporateexecutives or industry professionals to profit illegallyfrom their access to nonpublic information. Thecoordinated action announced today by the U.S.Attorney's Office shows that the consequences for thoseindividuals will be even greater if we uncover evidencethat they obstructed our investigation.

Reform or Regulatory Deficit?
o By and large, the structure is very weak in cooperativesand NBFCs for historical reasons, local practices, andmultiplicity of regulators and laws. Old private sectorbanks have very poor auditing and accounting systems.
New private sector banks generally good onaccounting, but poor on accountability. More modern andcomputerized, but less risk conscious. One thing which iscommon to all is that corporate governance is highlycentralized with very little real check on the CEO, who isgenerally also closely linked to the largest owner groups.
Boards or auditing systems are not effective.
