Uniform Supervisory Approach

Definition

A uniform supervisory approach is a consistent and standardized method of oversight applied by regulatory bodies across different entities or jurisdictions within a financial sector. This approach aims to ensure that similar types of institutions or activities are subject to the same regulatory scrutiny and requirements, regardless of their location or specific operational nuances. A uniform supervisory approach promotes fairness, reduces regulatory arbitrage, and enhances market stability by applying consistent standards for risk management and compliance. It is vital for preventing loopholes and fostering a level playing field.
