The goal of regulating financial sector is to protect the de facto principles of regulation which include things like protection of stability in pricing, safeguarding of the small investors, prevention of market misconduct, and so on.

Regulation of financial sector universally is comprehensively guided by two aims: prudential regulation and direct of business regulation, including consumer protection. The four key institutional frameworks for regulation of the financial sector globally – Institutional Approach (element based regulation), Functional Approach (movement based regulation), Integrated Approach (all-inclusive controller model) and Twin Peaks Approach (division of prudential regulation and lead of business regulation) – all endeavour to address the above destinations through various formal structures. Post-crisis, another measurement of 'systemic stability' is being tried to be included as another goal of financial sector regulation yet the correct shapes in such manner are still in progress.
