Chapter Chapter 4 in Mandatory Financial Disclosures and the Banking Sector, 2023, pp 49-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the book proposes an alternative explanation for the existence of mandatory disclosures using PA framework and the developed framework posits certain features/characteristics that should be present in regulatory contracts. This chapter tests the veracity of the propositions outlined by the developed framework using banking regulation. The chapter analyses global banking regulatory requirements issued by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) over three decades using ‘textual analysis’. The BCBS regulatory pronouncements are analysed to examine whether the regulatory pronouncements contain requirements that meet the criteria posited by the developed framework. The analysis finds support for the propositions posited by the developed framework in all key BCBS pronouncements (Basel 1, MRA, Basel 2 and Basel 3), thereby demonstrating that the propositions in the developed framework apply irrespective of the drivers and circumstances behind such regulations.
