CREDIT-RATING AGENCY REFORM
Credit-rating agencies -- the two biggest are Standard & Poor's and Moody' s-- assess and grade the creditworthiness of companies and public entities that issue debt and the debt itself. These financial gatekeepers, which are paid by the issuers they rate, influence an issuer’s ability to raise or borrow money. Long criticized for conflicts of interest, as the current financial crisis gained momentum, the agencies were derided for failing to identify risks in mortgage securities. New legislation is in the works to reform the regulation of credit-rating agencies.
