I had the same sensation seeing the embasssy account controversy stir itself up. Your suggestion about stakeholders addressing the issues makes a lot of sense. Agreeing on what "embassy accounts" are for various types of financial institutions, how they should be opened and monitored, and how long the industry has to implement any resulting embassy-specific requirements would be a more effective way to address any risk than continuing to do so through flare-ups in examiner interest and international controversy. And whatever is decided should be a plan both that Treasury is willing to implement and enforce here and that State is willing to live by when/if reciprocal requirements are imposed on foreign institutions by their home country regulators. - Steve Ganis Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:04:31 +0100
