Outdated information regarding Wikipedia´s page on the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)

1) Wikipedia says the IOSCO mandate is to: • Develop, implement, and promote high standards of regulation to enhance investor protection and reduce systemic risk • Share information with exchanges and assist them with technical and operational issues • Establish standards toward monitoring global investment transactions across borders and markets.

The IOSCO bylaws say the mandate is: • to cooperate in developing, implementing and promoting adherence to internationally recognized and consistent standards of regulation, oversight and enforcement to protect investors, maintain fair, efficient and transparent markets and to mitigate systemic risks; • to enhance investor protection and promote investor confidence in the integrity of securities markets, through strengthened information exchange and cooperation in enforcement against misconduct and in the supervision of markets and market intermediaries; and • to exchange information at both global and regional levels on their respective experiences to assist the development of markets, strengthen market infrastructure and implement appropriate regulation.

2) Wikipedia says: Associate members are other securities and/or futures regulators in cases where there's more than one per jurisdiction. For example, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the North American Securities Administrators Association in the United States are associate members of IOSCO given that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is the ordinary member from the United States. Associate members have no vote and are not eligible for the Executive Committee; they are, however, members of the Presidents' Committee.

The CFTC has been a full-fledged ordinary IOSCO member for about seven years now; the NASAA is no longer a member. The membership criteria have changed since Wikipedia wrote this article. https://www.iosco.org/annual_reports/2019/15_GeneralInformation/01.html

3) Ranjit Ajit Singh, Chair of the Securities Commission Malaysia, is no longer the chair of the Growth and Emerging Markets Committee. Nor is he Vice Chair of IOSCO. He no longer is a member of IOSCO, as he is no longer with the SC Malaysia.

4) With the exception of the European committee chair, none of the regional chairs that Wikipedia mentions are still in office. https://www.iosco.org/about/?subsection=display_committee&cmtid=11

5) The Technical and Executive Committees that Wikipedia mention were abolished in 2012. IOSCO created a Board of 34 members to replace them, which is mentioned on the Wikipedia page under leadership, along with the Technical Committee.

The English version no longer refers to the Executive Committee but the Spanish version continues to refer to both committees. It also names the committee chairs, most of whom served many years ago and are long forgotten. The Spanish version says:

El Comité Ejecutivo está presidido por la Sra. Jane Diplock, presidenta de la Comisión de Valores de Nueva Zelanda. El Comité Técnico está presidido por la Sra. Kathleen L. Casey, un comisionado de la Comisión de la Bolsa de Valores de los EE. UU. El actual presidente del Comité de Mercados Emergentes es el Sr. Guillermo Larraín (Presidente de la Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, Chile)

6) Wikipedia says: One of its most important relationships is with the Joint Forum. The Joint Forum no longer exists. All these facts can be contrasted and confirmed on the official IOSCO webpage A.cabo-iosco (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
