Recenzje

Corporate governance is and remains important: weak governance at financial institutions, and at banks in particular, is often regarded as one of the underlying causes of the Great Financial Crisis. This view is confirmed by leading internationalorganizations, such as the OECD and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, as well as by national inquiries, including those by the US Financial Crisis Commission and the Walker Review in the UK. The book is therefore an important contribution to this debate, but goes further by extending the scope beyond banks. It adds value by broadening the debate to include, for example, insurance firms and investment firms ... The authors and editors have succeeded in presenting an interesting mix on governance at financial institutions, including ample details and discussion of the relevant EU legislation.
