Financial Inspection Rating System for Deposit-Taking Institutions

The Financial Services Agency issued this directive to implement a new rating system for deposit-taking financial institutions, aiming to promote voluntary management improvement and enhance inspection efficiency. The system evaluates institutions across ten key areas, including governance, legal compliance, and risk management, using a four-grade scale from A to D. These ratings directly influence selective regulatory measures, such as the frequency and scope of future inspections, with full implementation scheduled for April 2007.
