SEC Staff Issues Summary Report of Commission Staff's Examinations of Each Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization
September 30, 2011-- The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission today issued a report summarizing the staff's observations and concerns arising from the examinations of ten credit rating agencies registered with the SEC as Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSROs") and subject to Commission oversight.
The report notes that despite changes by some of the examined credit rating agencies to improve their operations, Commission staff identified concerns at each of the NRSROs. These concerns included apparent failures in some instances to follow ratings methodologies and procedures, to make timely and accurate disclosures, to establish effective internal control structures for the rating process and to adequately manage conflicts of interest. The report notes that the staff made various recommendations to the NRSROs to address the staff’s concerns and that in some cases the NRSROs have already taken steps to address such concerns.
“This report demonstrates the SEC’s enhanced oversight of credit rating agencies,” said Carlo V. di Florio, Director of the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE). “We have recruited experts and strengthened the overall monitoring and examination process to better protect investors, ensure market integrity, and facilitate capital formation.”
