Regulation of Credit Rating Agencies

    prepare a thesis proposal that considers to the below describe idea of a “basic storyline”.

With increasing emphasize on external credit ratings rather than internal rating procedures due to a changing regulatory environment on the global financial markets, the requirements and expectations regarding rating agencies and with it the reliance on credit rating agencies have changed over time. Due to the increasing dependence on credit rating agencies and changing expectations concerning credit ratings, the basic idea behind rating agencies (namely to provide opinions on the creditworthiness of an issuer) is no longer valid and credit rating agencies have come under criticism, especially in the last decade.

    c)    identify & describe problematic issues and/or criticisms of current CRA (e.g. conflicts of interest, principle agent relationships, lack of competition, accountability of CRAs, regulatory framework, market power, disclosure practices, unsolicited ratings, downgrading latency, etc.)
