Banca d'Italia's supervisory activities are carried out by the Directorate General for Financial Supervision and Regulation at central level and by the Bank's branches at local level.
With the launch of the Single Supervisory Mechanism on 4 November 2014, the Directorate General was reorganized to make the controls on banks and financial intermediaries more effective.
The branches perform supervisory tasks regarding banking groups and banking and financial intermediaries operating mainly at local level (see Bank of Italy branches in charge of supervisory tasks: territorial jurisdiction). For the purposes of customer protection, supervisory tasks are carried out by the Directorate General for Consumer Protection and Financial Education, while the Branches are entrusted with financial education, appeals to the Banking and Financial Ombudsman (ABF) and complaints.
Banca d'Italia Regulation of 25 June 2008 (currently being revised) and subsequent provisions designate the organizational units in charge of administrative proceeding within the scope of Banca d'Italia's supervisory functions (see Organizational units in charge of administrative proceedings).
