    Under the aegis of Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a voluntary committee known as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) was established in 1974 that provides a forum for  regular cooperation on banking supervisory matters with a goal to ensure financial stability and common standards of banking regulation.
