Regulatory framework
As Crown corporations, ATB Financial and its subsidiaries operate under a legal framework established pursuant to the provisions of the ATB Financial Act and ATB Financial Regulation. This legislation was modelled on the legislation governing other Canadian financial institutions and is amended periodically. ATB Financial also operates within the legal framework established by such statutes of general application affecting the operations of provincial Crown corporations such as the Financial Administration Act, Government Accountability Act and Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act and applicable legislation dealing with consumer protection, privacy and money laundering. ATB Financial’s investor services subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory oversight by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and the Alberta Securities Commission.
A Mandate and Roles document entered into between the President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance and ATB Financial provides guidance to ATB Financial in conducting its affairs further to the ATB Financial Act and ATB Financial Regulation.

Annual and Corporate Social Responsibility Reports
Starting in 2019, we combined our annual financial and corporate social responsibility reports into one report.

Because we believe purpose and profit don’t just belong together, they are perpetually intertwined.
