Abstract: Incentive compensation practices in the financial services industry contributed to the financial crisis that began in 2007. Financial institution employees too often were rewarded for increasing short-term revenue or profit without adequate regard to the risks taken to achieve those results. These practices exacerbated the risks and losses at a number of banking organizations and resulted in the misalignment of the interests of employees with the long-term safety and soundness of their organizations. It is urgent that incentive compensation practices be brought under control through issuance of this guidance.

OTS is citing a reduction in the inventory due to a reduction in the number of respondents. Incentive compensation practices in the financial services industry contributed to the financial crisis that began in 2007. Financial institution employees too often were rewarded for increasing short-term revenue or profit without adequate regard to the risks taken to achieve those results. These practices exacerbated the risks and losses at a number of financial institutions and resulted in the misalignment of the interests of employees with the long-term safety and soundness of their organizations. It is urgent that incentive compensation practices be brought under control through supervisory action. This guidance would also fulfill the commitment made at the G-20 meeting in September 2009 by President Obama and the Department of the Treasury to implement the Financial Stability Board’s Compensation Principles.
