Update on regulatory issues and the rating agencies
- We continue to work with SEC on voluntary framework for oversight of Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs)
- We support implementation of designation process as reflected in SEC’s proposed rule, but without involving SEC in substance of rating process
- We worked with IOSCO on codes and principles for rating agencies
- We continue to believe there will be no material adverse effect on S&P’s financial condition or operations
