Determining Financial Penalties for Banking Violations

I'm researching the factors and methods used to determine financial penalties against financial institutions that violate the law, looking at cases involving big banks, such as Wells Fargo, Worldcom, HSBC, and BNYM. I'm planning on reviewing cases via government and media reports, and interviewing experts in the area of bank regulation, to gather data. My final project will consist of a written report based on the research that I've gathered, and the report will discuss the history of banking regulation, current frameworks, and recommendations to improve these frameworks.

More things included in the report talk about the information and laws said within each cases, that will be needed to understand in order to know what each case has dealt with. There is also a recommendation section where improvements within the businesses could be made, such as AI, mandatory reporters, and more.
