The collapse of Credit Suisse has been investigated by the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CEP), which has attributed responsibility for the bank's downfall to its Board of Directors and management.
The CEP report highlights a lack of accountability and a series of missteps that eroded investor and customer confidence. The report criticizes the bank's leadership for disregarding warnings and interventions from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma).
Despite Finma's efforts, the situation continued to deteriorate, leading to a loss of trust among stakeholders. The report emphasizes the need for regulatory reform to prevent similar situations in the future.
Additionally, the investigation raises concerns about the preparedness of major banks to navigate crises and the implications of their decisions on the broader financial system.
