Since 1975, CBO has produced nonpartisan analyses of budgetary and economic issues to support the Congressional budget process. Each year, the agency’s economists and budget analysts produce dozens of reports and hundreds of cost estimates for proposed legislation. This presentation makes key points about CBO’s role and how its analyses—including the Budget and Economic Outlook and cost estimates for proposed legislation—relate to budget enforcement procedures.
Presentation by Megan Carroll, an analyst in CBO’s Budget Analysis Division, at the Budget Line of Business 2018 Spring Forum.
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires CBO to prepare cost estimates for legislation at certain points in the legislative process. CBO is also required to provide the Congress with annual reports on projected spending, revenues, and deficits under current law. This presentation highlights how CBO uses information from other agencies to prepare those cost estimates and baseline projections.
The federal budget is a measure of the overall scope and magnitude of federal activities that involve the spending or collection of money. The net costs of those activities are shown in the budget mostly on a cash basis, but some transactions are recorded by means of accrual accounting. This presentation discusses the advantages and disadvantages of cash and accrual measures when accounting for various federal insurance programs and federal retirement programs.
The document discusses the barangay budget process under Philippine law. It covers the key steps and requirements for preparing, authorizing, and implementing a barangay budget according to the Local Government Code. The barangay budget process involves the Punong Barangay and Treasurer preparing a proposed budget, the Sangguniang Barangay authorizing the budget through an appropriation ordinance, and funds being executed and accounted for according to the approved budget. The document provides details on estimating revenues and expenditures, mandatory budget allocations, budget authorization procedures, and other legal guidelines that barangays must follow for effective local financial management.
Fiscal policy and government budgets are important tools that governments use to influence economic activity and promote growth. A government's budget determines how much money it expects to receive in revenues and how much it will spend on goods and services. The Nigerian constitution and laws establish the legal framework for budgeting, giving the National Assembly authority over the budget process. This document proposes a Fiscal Responsibility Index to benchmark and assess the fiscal performance of government ministries, departments, and agencies in Nigeria based on their adherence to budget credibility, comprehensiveness, policy-based budgeting, implementation, accounting, and auditing practices. The goal is to support fiscal discipline and the efficient use of public funds.

The EBA will take actions to address these trends, including assessing guidelines on responsible lending and developing requirements for product oversight and governance.
This document provides an analysis of the September 2017 Btp futures roll and deliverable bonds. It finds that given current yield levels and heterogeneity in the deliverable basket, changes to the futures contract coupon would not significantly impact deliverability option value. While there is theoretically potential for some deliverability around the switch point between bonds, increasing yield volatility to +/-100bps is needed to realize meaningful value. The Btp Jun26 bond, which will fall out of the September basket, faces limited potential to cheapen given it may become a target for central bank purchases. Overall, the analysis does not see major opportunities in the September basket beyond a long position in the Sep28 basis in a bull or very bearish flattening scenario.
This document analyzes the impact of Kenya's 2016 law capping interest rates. It finds that the law has started to yield negative effects, including: infringing on the central bank's independence; reducing financial intermediation as banks lend less to smaller borrowers; shifting bank lending to the government and large corporations; and declining profitability for small banks. While bank credit initially increased after the law, credit to the private sector has since declined. The law may also be reducing economic growth. However, banks have begun adjusting business models to improve efficiency. Overall, the evidence suggests the interest rate caps are producing unintended consequences contrary to the goals of increasing access to affordable credit.

This document summarizes the potential impacts of financial technology (FinTech) and large technology firms (BigTech) on market structure and financial stability. Some key points:
1) FinTech and BigTech could significantly alter the universe of financial services providers and the degree of competition and concentration in markets through new entrants.
2) While competition may benefit consumers, it could also put pressure on incumbent firms' profitability and lead to increased risk-taking.
3) BigTech firms in particular may achieve large market shares quickly due to existing customer networks, data advantages, and ability to subsidize financial services.
4) Increased reliance on third-party cloud and data providers could introduce new systemic risks if

Financial Conduct Authority Decision Notice on Ghana International BankKweku Zurek
The regulator of financial services firms and financial markets in the UK, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has fined the Ghana International Bank (GIB) £5.8 million pounds for breaching anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing controls.
The document analyzes Syndicate Bank from 2009 to 2019. It found that gross and net NPAs increased until 2018 due to forgery by bank officials and top management granting loans without proper checks. However, in 2019 NPAs declined as the bank established specialized recovery units, deployed more officers to high-risk accounts, and focused on priority sector lending. While past issues involved improper practices, recent changes indicate the bank is working to reduce NPAs through stricter monitoring and processes.

3. NBU Influence Measures in 2019. Judicial practice. Trends. Expectations 3
1. Preface
The NBU published an annual inspection
plan for the first time in December 2018.
Bank inspections were carried out according
to the approved plan made on the basis of
risk-oriented approach that took into account
belonging of the bank to a certain category
given its size in banking system, character
and complexity of operations, level of risks
inherent to its activities, as well as on the
basis of the determined overall assessment
of the SREP (Supervisory Review and Evalu-
ation Process).
51 bank was included into the list of finan-
cial institutions in which it was planned to
hold NBU scheduled inspections in 2019.
In February 2019, the NBU reported that on
February 7, 2019 respectively a new system
has been launched currency surveillance
based on risk-oriented approach according
to the Law of Ukraine “On Currency and Cur-
rency Operations”.
Instead of total currency control a funda-
mentally new approach that was based on
the principle: “less risk - less attention, more
risk - more attention” was implemented for
all operations. An adequate influence meas-
ure will be determined taking into account a
comprehensive analysis, in particular sums of
operations, systematicity, reasons and
the consequences of the violation.
Has 2019 year really introduced a new
currency surveillance approach, cleared a
number of bureaucratic barriers away and
elimination of need to report to banks for any
currency transaction for banking business in
Ukraine?
This Review is the first independent
legal evaluation of qualitative and
quantitative indicators of the NBU activity
in some of the influence measures applied
to banks in 2019.
The results reported in this Review raise rath-
er ambiguous questions for participants of
domestic banking business.
However, we are confident that the analysis
of quantitative and qualitative metrics, dis-
cussion and search for answers to the critical
questions that appeared during the super-

In accordance with the requirements of Directive (EU) 2015/849 of 20 May 2015 “On preventing of
abuse of the financial system for money laundering or terrorist financing” Member States shall en-
sure that decisions on the application of administrative penalties or a measure for breach of national
provisions transposing this Directive which has not been appealed to be published by the competent
authorities on their website as soon as the punished person was informed about the decision.
Although the rules of the abovementioned Directive allow a competent authority (the NBU) to delay
publishing of the decision on the application of administrative punishment or not publishing of the de-
cisions on the application of administrative punishment for stability of financial markets - 2019 was
the year of the NBU transparency in part of publicity of decisions on the application of
NBU measures of influence for violation of requirements of financial monitoring legisla-
tion as well as appeals against such decisions and any further information on the out-
come of such an appeal.

7. NBU Influence Measures in 2019. Judicial practice. Trends. Expectations 7
The main schemes identified by the NBU and caused
implementation of influence measures against banks in 2019
Problem operations with sovereign bonds
Financial transactions with securities, in particular sovereign bonds conducted by professional participants of
the stock market (brokers) on their own behalf, at the expense and at the order of legal entities and individuals,
the nature of which may testify the legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime. Carrying out regular/cyclical buy-
ing and selling operations of sovereign bonds with an aim to obtaining by individuals (one side of the transaction)
investment profits, and by legal entities (the other side of the transaction) - investment loss.
At the same time, the artificial profit from the sale of sovereign bonds by clients was actually obtained without
paying for the purchase of these sovereign bonds (funds for the settlement of the purchase of sovereign bonds by
the clients of the broker were not transferred, but retained from calculating of the further sale of these sovereign
bonds). Sovereign bonds were acquired by Clients from legal entities at a price lower their fair value and the sale of
sovereign bonds to legal entities was carried out at a price that is close to or higher than their fair value.
Therefore, legal entities as the result of such actions received a permanent loss while Clients received constant
artificial profit (almost 98% of the profit was subsequently received by the Clients in cash at Bank cash register) as
a result from further sales of sovereign bonds.
According to the results of the NBU’s analysis of transactions with sovereign bonds concluded on
the stock market it was established that 74 individuals (including 12 public persons) received a
profit about 800 million UAH, the damage was received by 18 legal entities (including 6 non-resi-
dents) for total amount of about 919 million UAH.
Securities at the Over-The-Counter market
Receipt by the bank clients from other legal entities mainly as payment for assignment of right of demand or as a
settlement for securities (off the stock exchange) in cashless form not upholding the principle of “delivery of securi-
ties against payment” at a sale price that was significantly higher (up to 36 times) the par value of these securities.
Related parties transactions
Failure to analyze the clients (clients group) of the bank taking into account the signs of their affiliation including
joint ultimate beneficial owners (controllers) and/or directors. Consequently, denial to deliver service to one client
in the group (with considerable delay) due to scheme transactions, other clients who have performed substantial-
ly similar transactions by context and form, continued to be serviced at the bank and the decision to refuse them
bank servicing was made later or not approved at all.
Fictitious collection
Conducting financial transactions to transfer clients’ funds by the bank in accordance with collection of funds ser-
vice contracts. Subsequently, these funds were delivered by means of collection from other banking institutions in
cash to financial institutions and were used, in particular, for cash loans to individuals and payments to individuals
for agricultural products. Nature and consequences of such financial transactions give reason to believe in the NBU
view that they may be related in particular to legalization of criminal proceeds, conversion (transfer) of non-cash
funds into cash.
Non-banking financial institutions
Failure of the bank to carry out measures to obtain comprehensive information about clients - non-banking financial
institutions (location is an address that is a registered office of a large number of legal entities persons; frequent
changes in the constitutional documents of financial companies, in particular, related to the change of its execu-
tives; change of manager and ultimate beneficial owner before opening bank accounts; in the personell of financial
company is one person or several persons; manager and ultimate beneficial owner of the financial company is the
same person, etc.).

8. NBU Influence Measures in 2019. Judicial practice. Trends. Expectations 8
Non-application of risk-oriented approach
Failure by the bank to mitigate existing risks, including through in-depth review, requesting additional explanations,
documents and information regarding financial transactions and further use of cash from customers of the bank.
Failure to find out by the bank of real financial capabilities of clients for conducting financial transactions on
significant amounts over a short period of time, failing to conduct a quality analysis of clients’ financial transactions
with the purpose of identifying financial transactions that do not correspond to a financial status and nature of the
activities of these clients or the lack of economic feasibility that has led to an incorrect assessment of the level of
client risk.
Continuation of providing services to those clients for whom a decision was made to terminate the business rela-
tionship (for clients who are at an unacceptably high risk).
Failure of the bank to obtain comprehensive customer information
1. Conducting of cash transactions by the bank to issue cash to a group of individual clients of the bank the nature
of which suggests that they may be related to conversion (transfer) from non-cash into cash. At the same time, real
incomes of individuals were not enough to pay off relevant credit obligations. Instead, repayment of loan was made
only by two legal entities-clients of the bank for which there were signs of fictitiousness. Credit agreements accord-
ing to which individuals have been granted loans by a financial company are of the same type, and the fulfillment
of obligations are secured by a contract of guarantee or a penalty (in case the borrower breaks the loan repayment
period, the borrower pays a penalty of 0% of the loan amount for each day of delay).
2. The banks ignore the fact that the volume of transactions for the quarter on the accounts of clients is 350-1800
times exceeds the amount of cash flow from the main business activity declared by clients in their questionnaires
completed during the establishment of a business relationship with the bank.
3. Conducting transactions of the clients despite the availability of information in public sources that clients and
their counterparties who transferred funds to clients’ accounts appear in criminal cases proceedings, in particu-
lar, as participants of activities related to the provision of tax minimization services obligations; enterprises with
fictitious features; participants of illegal activities related to non-cash processing, tax evasion and involved in the
legalization of cash which proceeds from crime, in particular, from the realization of a fictitious enterprise.
4. Transfer of non-cash to cash using lost, stolen documents or those that have the characteristics of fake, invalid
(null and void): contracts with deceased persons, concluding agency agreements with the use of stolen and lost
passports; legal entities – clients who have signs of fictitiousness (registered almost simultaneously, having sole
foundation managerial staff, authorized capital is not fully formed, did not file tax and financial statements etc.),
whereas the accrued funds are transferred to other entities within a short period of time to other entities with a
different purpose of payment which in most cases indicates payment for goods without actual delivery/transfer of
goods.
2019 year was the year of prevention and counteraction to legalization
(laundering) of the proceeds of crimes, terrorist financing and financing of
proliferation of mass destruction weapons.
During the audits the NBU thoroughly analyzed both financial
operations of clients with securities, timeliness of risks reduction measures
and the compliance of the bank’s procedures client reviews, in particular,
through in-depth audits, requesting additional explanations, documents and
information regarding financial transactions, financial state and essence of
client activities with the purpose of establishing illegal transactions or
transactions with an absence of economic feasibility.

In accordance with the requirements of the Currency Supervision Regulation the National Bank carries
out currency supervision in Ukraine in order to establish the conformity of the conducted currency
transactions with currency legislation of Ukraine taking into account the risk-oriented approach.
The National Bank organizes and carries out currency supervision of authorized institutions by
conducting on-site and off-site inspections of authorized institutions, their structural subdivisions
in accordance with the procedure established by the normative acts of the National Bank which
regulate the procedure for conducting on-site, off-site inspections and applying to them measures of
influence in this case of detection of violations of currency legislation adequate to these violations.

In accordance with Article 74 of the Law of Ukraine “On Banks and Banking Activity” the decision of
the National Bank of Ukraine on the application of an influence measure in the form of a fine is an
executive document and shall enter into force on the day of its adoption. In case of failure to imple-
ment such a decision it is transmitted by the National Bank of Ukraine to the state enforcement service
for enforcement.
Pursuant to paragraph 4 of Part Three of Article 151 of the Code of Administrative Justice of
Ukraine it is not allowed to enforce a claim by suspending the decisions of the National
Bank of Ukraine, acts of the National Bank of Ukraine as well as the establishment by
the National Bank of Ukraine prohibiion or obligation to take certain actions.
As a result of the analysis of public information contained in the Unified State Register of Judiciary
Decisions, the process of appealing by the banks of the influence measures of the NBU in 2019 was
carried out in the majority cases as follows:
1) taking measures to secure an administrative claim by stopping the recovery on the ground of the
relevant decision of the NBU;
2) appeal against the NBU’s decision to impose a fine essentially.
According to information from the Unified State Register of Judiciary Decisions, the status of the ap-
peal of the NBU influence measures by the banks in 2019 looks as follows *:

Resolution of the Supreme Court of 02.10.2019 in Case No. 826/9802/17
“... According to Art. 1173 of the Civil Code of Ukraine damage caused to physical or legal person
by unlawful decisions, the act or omission of a public authority, a public authority of the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea or a local self-government body during carrying out by them of their authority, shall
be reimbursed by the state, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea or the local self-government body
regardless of the fault of these bodies.
Thus, the failure of the National Bank of Ukraine on non-use of proper measures to protect the le-
gitimate interests of depositors and creditors which has brought to breach of rights of depositors in
form of non-refunded funds, for certain the circumstances may be regarded as damage caused to an
individual or a legal entity by an unlawful decisions, acts or omissions of a public authority. Aggrieved
parties of such failure to act may claim compensation accordingly to Art. 1173 of the Civil Code of
Ukraine, however, such a dispute cannot be resolved within the limits of administrative proceedings.”
Resolution of the Supreme Court of 13.12.2019 in Case No. 826/7889/16
“... It is not enough fact alone to declare failure to act as unlawful in case of untimely per-
formance of mandatory actions, and specific reasons are also important, the conditions and
circumstances under which the actions subject to mandatory execution under law, have not
actually been or have been carried out with breach of timeframes.
What really matter are legal content, significance, duration and limits of failure to act, the actual
reasons for termination, as well as the harm of inaction for the rights and interests of the indi-
vidual.
On this basis, the panel of judges agrees with the conclusion of the courts of previous instance
on that the National Bank of Ukraine in accordance with the laws of Ukraine “On the National
Bank Of Ukraine “,”On Banks and Banking Activity”and Regulation No 346 endowed with ex-
clusive authority to determine independently the adequacy of the measure of influence applied
to discovered violations, because it is the National Bank of Ukraine as a subject of government
authority is vested with the right and has objective capacity to directly evaluate
performance of the bank.
Resolution of the Supreme Court of 18.12.2019 in Case No. 520/1636/19
“... the courts have correctly stated that paragraph 14 of clause 3.3 of Chapter 3 of Section I of the
Regulation No 346, to which reference is made the defendant in the contested decision refers to the
signs of risky activity in the sphere of financial monitoring, and not risky activity in general, and fore-
sees bank involvement (provision of bank services) in conducting financial transactions, the nature or
consequences of which give reason to consider that they can be connected with the withdrawal of
capital, the legalization of criminal in come, conversion (transfer) of non-cash funds into cash, realiza-
tion of fictitious entrepreneurship, tax avoidance, etc. (particularly cash withdrawals funds, transfer of
funds abroad, purchase and sale of securities, use of accounts improperly, etc.).
Having analyzed Regulation No 346 in part of signs of risky activity, the courts of preliminary
instances came to the correct conclusion that “risky activity” and “risky activity in the sphere of
financial monitoring” are not identical, defined and characterized by different signs, and accord-
ing to Regulation No 346, if any, have different consequences for banks”.
