The International Organization of Securities Commissions was founded in April 1983 and is headquartered in Madrid. Its mandate is to develop, implement, and promote high standards of securities regulation to enhance investor protection and reduce systemic risk, sharing information among members and establishing standards for cross-border monitoring of investment transactions. As of August 2024 it counted 240 members regulating more than 99 percent of the world's financial markets across more than 130 jurisdictions, and its Objectives and Principles of Securities Regulation are endorsed by the G20 and the Financial Stability Board.
