Goldman Sachs will come in for harsh criticism from an influential US Senate report into the financial crisis that will highlight alleged conflicts of interests in the bank’s dealings with clients, according to people familiar with the matter.
据知情人士透露，投资银行高盛(Goldman Sachs)将遭到一份有影响力的美国参议院报告的严厉抨击。该份针对金融危机的调查报告将重点曝光该行与其客户交易中涉嫌的利益冲突。

Goldman on Tuesday released a long-awaited list of internal changes that it hoped would help to put its recent controversy behind it.
本周二，高盛宣布了外界期待已久的内部改革报告，希望以此帮助它摆脱近期遭遇的争议。

As part of the reforms, Goldman revealed that it had lost more than $15bn on investments with its own capital in 2008 – a previously undisclosed figure that supports the bank’s contention that it did not profit from the financial meltdown.
作为改革计划的一部分，高盛披露称，2008年其自有资本投资亏损逾150亿美元，这一此前未披露的数据支持了高盛的说法，即它并未从金融危机中获利。

But people familiar with the matter said the report from the Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations, which could be published by the end of the month, would renew the pressure on Goldman by focusing on complex transactions similar to a deal involving a mortgage-linked security called Abacus.
但知情人士表示，美国参议院常设调查委员会(Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations)的报告将给高盛带来新的压力，因为报告的重点是一系列类似Abacus交易的复杂交易。Abacus交易是一种涉及抵押贷款相关证券的交易。参议院的这份报告或将于本月底对外公布。

Goldman declined to comment.
高盛拒绝就此消息置评。

The Abacus deal prompted the Securities and Exchange Commission to pursue civil fraud charges that Goldman settled by paying a $550m fine in July.
Abacus交易曾导致美国证交会(SEC)对高盛提起民事欺诈指控，今年7月高盛支付了5.5亿美元的罚金，与证交会达成和解。

The regulators alleged Goldman did not disclose to clients that a hedge fund eager to short the housing market had influenced the type of loans included in the security.
监管机构指控称，高盛并未向客户披露如下事实：一个渴望做空住房市场的对冲基金影响了被包含在抵押贷款相关证券中的贷款类型。

Senior Democrats hope the new report, which deals with Wall Street’s behaviour during the crisis but is believed to focus heavily on Goldman, will pressure the SEC to reopen its investigation into the bank.
民主党资深议员希望，新报告将迫使美国证交会重启对高盛的调查。该报告针对的是整个华尔街在金融危机期间的行为，但据信其重点将针对高盛。

Carl Levin, the committee’s chairman, cross-examined Goldman’s top executives at hearings last year and congressional staff are circulating a draft of a report that draws on the hearings and thousands of pages of documents provided by the bank.
常设调查委员会主席卡尔•列文(Carl Levin)在去年的听证会上反复盘问了高盛的高层管理人员，国会工作人员正在散发一份有关那几场听证会的报告草稿，以及高盛提供的数千页文件。

The Goldman report into ways to improve practices and financial reporting, carried out by its Business Standards Committee, suggests clients and employees have expressed concern over the bank’s way of doing business.
高盛的报告由公司商业标准委员会(Business Standards Committee)撰写，报告描述了该投行改善商业实践和财务报告的措施，并表示，其客户和员工已对该投行的经营方式表示担忧。
