How to prevent and stop cases of financial wrongdoing has become a pressing matter for every country. As for Taiwan, after the Financial Holding Company Act was passed in 2001, banks, securities companies and insurance companies, which previously had to operate independently, could now be incorporated into a single financial group. In a few short years 14 financial holding companies were set up.
以台灣的情況來看，二○○一年「金融控股公司法」通過後，原先必須分開經營的銀行、證券及保險業，如今可以統合在一個金融集團內；而短短數年，國內已有十四家金控公司成立。
