High-level principles for business continuity

"In response to a request from the Financial Stability Forum in September 2004, the Joint Forum determined that high-level principles on business continuity would contribute beneficially to the resilience of the global financial system. A working group of the Joint Forum was established in early 2005 to develop the principles, which were published in a consultative paper in December 2005. An overview of the comments received on the consultative paper is provided in a separate document. This paper is a revised version of the December 2005 consultation draft."
