Abstract

We use requirements governing external audits in the US banking industry as a case study to illustrate the complexity of regulatory structure. Complexity reflects a flexibility that has been used to “tailor” regulations for particular categories of banks. But it appears to conflict with recent proposals to “rationalize” a system that is said to lack coherence.
