In fact, the former CBRC has attached great importance to the issue of corporate governance of banking financial institutions. At the beginning of the new year, the former CBRC has issued the "eight aspects", which is, " the CBRC on further deepening the regulation of the banking market turmoil," the first listed as eight major aspects is the corporate governance.

The "notice" points out that the corporate governance disorder of banking financial institutions includes three aspects such as shareholder and equity, performance and evaluation, and qualification.

In an interview with the People's Daily, Mr Guo, the former chairman of the CBRC, said in a January 17 news that the main problem in the banking industry is that regulated shareholder management and corporate governance are not synchronized. For example, some shareholders even regard banks as their own cash machines, wantonly engage in improper related transactions and benefit delivery.

The illegal construction of large financial groups by means of complex structures, false contributions and circular injections of lawless elements has become a serious obstacle to deepening financial reform and safeguarding the security of the banking system and must be dealt with seriously in accordance with the law. An expert of the national Finance and Development laboratory told the first financial reporter that the two forms of the main risk of bank corporate governance are the internal control and the excessive interference of the shareholders in the bank operation. The former senior executives often pass beyond the prescribed scope of banking operations, access to the public interest of banks, the latter led to a large number of related transactions, so that banks become affiliated counterparties to the counterparty, into a shareholder "ATM machine."
