This half-day workshop is designed to keep regulated firms up-to-date with the latest trends in governance and with the FSA's strong expectations in this respect.
Following the financial crisis of 2008, raising standards of corporate governance has been a major priority for governments throughout the world. The UK Government was no exception. The Labour Government commissioned Sir David Walker to write a report on improving governance in banks and other financial institutions. The report's recommendations were widely praised and the FSA has been swift to implement Sir David's conclusions as well as some of its own. Consequently, the bar has been raised in terms of governance in financial services.
