About This Initiative

The New York Fed's Governance & Culture Reform initiative is designed to foster
discussion about corporate governance and encourage the continued improvement of
culture and conduct in the financial services industry.


The Path Ahead

“The journey toward reforming culture in the banking and financial services
industry is a long one. And there’s no single action that a regulator or a bank
can take to make it happen. Getting it right is going to require the will and
expertise of regulators, financial services firms, academics, and practitioners.
And while changing organizational culture is a long-term, complex, and
challenging task, I’m optimistic that we can and we will make progress. And the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York is committed to being a partner on that
journey.”

-- New York Fed President and CEO John C. Williams, “Banking Culture: The Path
Ahead” (June 2019)
