Book The Bank Culture Debate

Download or read book The Bank Culture Debate written by Huw Macartney and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period since the Global Financial Crisis and numerous scandals have exposed some areas of serious illegal and unethical conduct within western banking systems. Despite extensive reforms it is increasingly apparent however that there is a persistent problem with the 'culture' of banking in Anglo-America. US and UK state managers made substantial efforts to reform the culture of their banking sectors. However, this book argues that they focused on an extremely narrow definition of bank culture. They did so for two reasons: firstly, because the structural pressures of financialization - which are a far more important driver of the problematic features of bank culture in Anglo-America - are harder to remedy; but secondly, state managers also used their bank culture response to tackle a legitimacy crisis facing their institutions of government. In so doing they abdicated responsibility for the real problems - of inequality and instability - associated with their respective financial systems Drawing on interviews with more than 150 individuals working in financial services as well as regulators, politicians, and lawyers, The Bank Culture Debate explains the strategies employed by state managers before then examining what has and has not changed in the culture of banking in the US and UK.

Book Culture Audit in Financial Services

Download or read book Culture Audit in Financial Services written by Roger Miles and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the next wave of conduct regulation in financial markets, from 2021 conduct regulators in the UK and elsewhere expect firms to produce evidence on how they are improving behaviour and culture. Facing this, many practitioners are anxious that their current reporting and management information (MI) are irrelevant to meeting as-yet unclear regulatory expectations. This book provides the insights and tools firms need to report on culture, securing both enhanced business value and the regulator's approval. Culture is now seen as a key contributor to good governance, feeding into existing discourse on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and the emerging dialogue on 'non-financial (mis)conduct', but conventional measures of business quality are unfit for the new reporting agenda. Culture Audit in Financial Services follows the arc of 'behavioural regulation' to examine what the regulator really wants, before offering guidance on how culture audit differs from conventional auditing, how to put the latest pure-research findings to work, and the key features of well-designed conduct and culture reports. Written by an impartial author and a variety of contributors with extensive experience working with practitioners, regulators, and many of the world's finest academic initiatives, this book is filled with practical, grounded advice on how best to approach this new challenge and avoid infractions.

Book Research Handbook on Law and Ethics in Banking and Finance

Download or read book Research Handbook on Law and Ethics in Banking and Finance written by Costanza A. Russo and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global financial crisis evidenced the corrosive effects of unethical behaviour upon the banking industry. The recurrence of misbehaviour in the financial sector, including fraud and manipulations of market indices, suggests the need to establish a banking culture that conforms to the highest standards of ethical and professional behaviour.

Book May 2022 Culture and Conduct Risk in the Banking Sector

Download or read book May 2022 Culture and Conduct Risk in the Banking Sector written by Stephen Scott and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starling is pleased to offer the fifth edition in its annual Compendium series for 2022: a comprehensive report detailing the priorities and activities of bank regulators regarding firm culture and conduct risk management. Over the years, regulatory officials across all key banking centers have proffered a now substantial array of speeches, studies, and recommendations regarding the culture of banks and other financial firms. Collectively, these public resources provide the backbone of this report. While the available information on the "why, what, and how" of bank culture reform is prolific, this material exists in a dispersed and unconsolidated fashion. This "Compendium" aims to provide those working on, or otherwise interested in, this topic with a one-stop resource that highlights recent developments in the financial sector on the culture and conduct issue. The goal is to provide a comprehensive summary of the substantive work underway regarding the nexus between firm culture, employee behavior, business performance outcomes, and social consequences. This year's report features contributions from more than 60 senior banking industry executives, regulators and central bankers, international standard-setters, and academics. We made a concerted effort to include voices that were not as well-heard in our earlier reports as we would have liked. We are delighted that this year's report includes contributions from Canada, The Bahamas and Dubai, for instance. And we are particularly proud to have had contributions from so many women. We hope that this 2022 update to our annual report will help to prompt further informed discussion among banking industry executives, regulators and supervisors, central bankers and international standard setters, among other stakeholders. We are proud that so many of them have trusted us with the curation of this important dialogue and our sincerest thanks go to all those who have taken the time to offer views for inclusion here to the benefit of their peers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PRAISE FOR Banking on Change "In this 140th Anniversary celebration book, The London Institute of Banking and Finance stick to their core function of educating us all, but especially aspirant bankers, on the role and concerns of (retail and commercial) banking in the UK. They have assembled a well-chosen group of practitioners from a range of professions to write clear and easily assimilable essays, no technical expertise required, on a wide variety of current banking issues. If you want to learn about the current practices and problems of UK retail banking, this book must be essential reading." —Charles Goodhart, emeritus professor of banking and finance at the London School of Economics "In this important book, a line from Bill Allen's contribution is key: 'Nobody can predict the ferocity of the gale of creative destruction' that faces the financial services sector. True; but if you read the many and varied contributions, you'll have a pretty good idea. Moreover, you'll understand how we (that is, bankers) got here – and what we should do to make the industry more competitive, fairer and more genuinely useful. It is a soup-to-nuts look at banking – from the early days of the Institute of Banking, through the go-go years of ifs, to a present and future that are likely to be dominated by technology. It is well-worth a long read." —Andrew Hilton, director, Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation "If you were to imagine what a book celebrating 140 years of financial knowledge might contain, you could not come up with a better selection than this. As well as a historic sweep – from no-tech to fintech, the decline of trust and the rise of competition – today's hot subjects are addressed, including sustainable investing, cultural diversity and digital identity. The cradle-to-grave nature of the industry is captured in pieces about financial education and pensions. And it's well written, setting the scene nicely for the next era." —Jane Fuller, Fellow of the Society of Investment Professionals Financial services are undergoing rapid, and potentially dramatic, change. What will happen in payments, in sustainable finance and in fintech? How can the industry boost financial inclusion and ensure that its workforce has the skills it needs to meet regulatory requirements and to compete with new entrants? Can trade finance rise to the challenge of underpinning global trade for all and help the developing world avoid "financial abandonment"? What do financial services need to do to protect our digital identities? Banking on Change provides insights by experts and influencers from across the financial services industry on these and other questions. Published to mark the 140th anniversary of The London Institute of Banking & Finance, this book is intended to be of lasting value to both students and professionals.
