Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin said Thursday that  the international community should consider creating an independent body to   oversee bank regulators.   
Speaking at the International Monetary Fund, Mr. Rubin said the new  group could be created by the IMF and World Bank and would help local bank   regulators improve their practices.   
  
"This in turn would help induce greater compliance with standards and  reforms," Mr. Rubin said. 
The Treasury Secretary also called for creation of international accords  on accounting standards, loan classifications, credit risk management, and   corporate governance.
