Abstract
The Swiss banking supervisory authority when it first originated more than fifty years ago was mainly interested in obtaining information through figures. The documents with which it used to work almost exclusively were balance sheets, profit-and-loss accounts and auditors’ reports. Tables, percentages, relationships between figures and minimum and maximum rates were the basis on which a bank could confirm that it was doing business in a serious way.
