Financial regulatory authority

A financial regulatory authority or financial supervisory authority is a public authority whose role is to ensure the proper implementation of financial regulation within its scope of responsibility.

Financial regulatory authorities include those in charge of bank supervision; of securities regulation, often referred to as securities commissions; of anti-money laundering supervision of financial firms; and of consumer protection in financial services, and more generally of enforcing "conduct-of-business" requirements, not to mention macroprudential regulation.
