以制度为基础的金融监管方法——第三种金融监管模式

  
  第四,制度监管模式有助于推动合规人员职业化,提高其专业水平。在美国,制度监管模式为合规工作提供了某些共同的制度框架。于是,整个合规行业对合规工作的意义形成了更广泛的共识,合规人员的职业化程度和专业水平也都有所提高。美国合规专业人员协会(National Association of Compliance Professionals Inc., NSCP)已发布一项关于合规专业人员的职业道德守则,[133] 一些机构还推出了若干用于评价合规人员职业化程度和专业水平的认证制度,[134] 各类合规工作会议还为合规人员提供了后续教育和培训。[135] 制度监管模式作为一种全球性的监管模式,其富有活力的自我完善机制有助于满足这样一种迫切的需要,即在某些情况下,国际金融监管工作者不仅仅在创造新的市场,而且还在创造崭新的合规行业。迅速提升合规人员职业化程度和专业水平,有助于为合规行业储备丰富的人力资源。

  
  最后,制度监管模式能够解决全球金融监管工作所面临的某些难题。当前,最严重的问题之一是全球性的证券欺诈行为。例如,在某个案件中,某机构自称是“一家总部位于乌拉圭的国际化财务咨询公司”,并在许多其他国家设有分支机构。事实上,证监会查明,不但上述分支机构纯属子虚乌有,而且该总机构也不过是在西班牙设立的一家违规证券营销机构,利用虚假的、误导性的证券信息从遍及四大洲、二十个国家的投资者集资数百万美元。[136] 在其他案件中,涉嫌的违法行为还包括:以多种语言提供误导性的销售资料;[137] 在某些国家针对特定的语言群体开展销售活动;[138] 在类似老挝万象这样的非金融中心设立从事违规营销活动的机构等。[139] 作为一种全球性的监管模式,制度监管模式能够帮助监管机构和市场参与者甄别合规经营的证券机构和违规经营的证券机构。对于新兴市场而言,这一点至关重要,因为其市场参与者往往并不为外界所熟知。如果这些新兴市场及其参与者想加入全球大家庭,建立完善的合规制度并使之与其他市场参与者的监管机构和合规制度相互交流,将有助于其在国际市场上树立良好的形象。

  
  制度监管模式有着广阔的发展前景。作为一种全球性的监管模式,它可以灵活地适用于各种市场环境,有效地解决一些迫切的问题。或许,最重要的是,这一监管模式有助于强化证券市场中的相互信任和信心。事实上,这正是制度监管模式的核心价值,即建立一种全球性的合规监管制度体系,合规人员专业人员的职业化程度和专业水平普遍相当。这一制度体系还有助于在尊重各国特殊监管目标的同时,协调当今多元化监管体系,构建全球性的证券市场。现在,我们应当认可这种以制度为基础的监管方法,并将之作为第三种金融监管模式。

在美国,对基金进行监管的法律依据是《投资公司法(1940年)》(15 U.S.C. §§ 80a-1–64 (2000))及其实施细则。参见17 C.F.R. § 270 (2005)(与《投资公司法(1940年)》有关的法规和规章).
在美国,对投资顾问进行监管的法律依据是《投资顾问法(1940)》(15 U.S.C. §§ 80b-1–21 (2000))及其实施细则。参见17 C.F.R. § 275 (2005)(与《投资顾问法(1940)》有关的法规和规章).
在美国,证券经纪商(brokers)和证券交易商(dealers)通常被统称为证券经纪商/交易商,对其进行监管的法律依据是《证券交易法(1934年)》(15 U.S.C. § 78a–78lll (2000))及有关法规和规章。参见17 C.F.R. § 240 (2005)(与《证券交易法(1934年)》有关的法规和规章).
证监会是美国的证券监管机构。参见Securities Exchange Act of 1934 § 4, 15 U.S.C. § 78d (2000).
监管协会是根据《证券交易法(1934年)》的有关规定成立的证券商自律组织,负责对面向公众开展业务的所有证券公司实施监管。参见Order Approving Proposed Rule Change to Amend the By-Laws of NASD to Implement Governance and Related Changes to Accommodate the Consolidation of the Member Firm Regulatory Functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation, Inc., Exchange Act Release No. 56, 145, 72 Fed.

美国采用多元化方法来推行制度监管模式的主要原因是:证监会和监管协会各司其职,分别对证券市场进行监管;即使在证监会内部,也是由不同的业务部门负责制定针对基金、投资顾问的监管规范以及针对证券商的监管规范。
本文作者所属的合规监督检查部(以下简称合规监管部)负责对各类证券机构的监管检查。通过这种综合性的监管工作,作者能够对涉及不同类型证券机构的监管实践是否存在一致性作出判断。

从2004年至2006年,监管协会先后共作出3,999项纪律处罚决定。截至本文完稿之日,关于2007年监管协会纪律处罚的完整数据尚未公布。FINRA, FINRA Statistics: Five Year Statistical Review, http://www.finra.org/PressRoom/Statistics (last visited Mar. 17, 2008).(根据监管协会网站公布的数据,监管协会于2007年共作出1,177项纪律处罚决定,于2008年共作出1,073项纪律处罚决定。——译者注)
在计算监管处罚案件总数时,值得注意的问题是,在许多规模较小的证券机构中,合规总监会兼任其他管理职务。如果监管处罚针对的是以兼任职务身份作出的违法行为,那么该监管处罚与其合规总监的身份就没有关系。在本文中,对合规总监督的监管处罚都是对以合规总监身份作出的违法行为的监管处罚。
