The purpose of this study was to analyse the Executive Summaries of assurance andadvisory reports submitted by Professional Service Firms (PSF) as evidence to the Australian 2018-2019 Royal Commission into the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry. The 32 Word and PowerPoint documents in this dataset were reviews by PSFs of large corporations' financial controls, policies and procedures and are often relied on by regulators and stakeholders to ensure the integrity and reliability of financial institutions. Following CGA principles, a variety of research methods were employed to investigate this hard to access but influential discourse community, including genre analysis, multimodal analysis and interviews. Results indicated that the Executive Summaries are a pliable and hybrid genre, made up of mainly optional stages which are sequenced in a variety of patterns to meet the writers' surface and private purposes. Their writers collaborate with their clients to write the reports, although the tenor of the documents is impersonal and objective. Visual semiotics are used, particularly in the PowerPoint documents, howeverlanguage is the main meaning making resource. These results were taken as evidence of thevalue of CGA in helping to investigate the discursive practices of an opaque but essential professional community.

Applying vector autoregression (VAR) techniques, this paper investigates the effects of monetary policy on financial stability in the United Sates, using monthly data for 1990-2014. Alternative indicators of monetary policy are used to assess the dynamic responses of a key set of financial stability variables. By building upon a disaggregation made in the literature, the financial stability transmission channels of monetary policy are also analysed.This study finds that the net effect of monetary policy on financial stability is rather small. Weak evidence is found for the hypothesis that monetary expansions contribute to financial vulnerabilities; or conversely, that monetary contractions reduce vulnerabilities. However, evidence is found that suggests monetary contractions deteriorate financial conditions as well. In addition, the effects of monetary policy on financial stability are found not to be uniform across transmission channels. In particular, little evidence was found for a financial instability channel in asset markets, while the shadow banking sector displayed the most significant evidence. Overall, these results lend support to a policy framework where monetary policy primarily targets price stability and macroprudential policies target financial stability
