Book Synopsis Financial stability and depositor protection by : Bank of England
Download or read book Financial stability and depositor protection written by Bank of England and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent months have seen a period of sustained turbulence and instability in global financial markets, with financial firms across the world affected. In Britain, the Northern Rock bank experienced a run on its deposits. The Government announced a review of the existing supervisory regime, including complex areas such as the legal framework for dealing with banks facing difficulties. This consultation document sets out the views of the Government, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Bank of England, responding to a discussion paper "Banking reform - protecting depositors" (HM Treasury, October 2007, http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/media/6/3/consult_bankingreform111007.pdf). This paper also takes into consideration the Treasury Committee's report "The run on the Rock" (5th report session 2007-08, HC 56-I, ISBN 9780215038388). The Government proposes to bring forward legislation to address five key objectives: (1) strengthening the financial system - better risk and liquidity management by banks, and improvements in valuation and credit rating agencies; (2) reducing the likelihood of banks failing - strengthening the supervisory framework and changing framework for provision and disclosure of liquidity assistance; (3) reducing the impact of failing banks - a range of tools to resolve a failing bank, including accelerated transfer of business to a healthy bank, a "bridge bank", and a bespoke banking insolvency procedure; (4) effective compensation arrangements in which consumers have confidence - a potential increase to the compensation limit for deposits, changes to enable the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to make payments within one week of a bank failing; (5) strengthening the Bank of England and improving co-ordination between authorities - retaining the tripartite regime, but giving a statutory basis for the Bank of England's financial stability role, and ensuring better governance arrangement within the Bank, and improving international co-ordination regarding financial stability issues and early warnings on global financial risks.
Book Synopsis Corporate Governance by : Magdi R. Iskander
Download or read book Corporate Governance written by Magdi R. Iskander and published by World Bank Group. This book was released on 2000 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation This report points the way to the establishment of trust and the encouragement of enterprise. It marks an important milestone in the development of corporate governance, and I cannot commend it too highly.--Sir Adrian Cadbury, London Recently, in Russia, a large share of the profits of an oil company was siphoned off by its controlling shareholder, leaving the company in debt to its creditors, employees, and the state. In the Czech Republic, millions of small shareholders lost their right to fair capital gains as tunneling schemes by insiders stripped privatized companies of their assets. Increasingly for developing and transition economies, a healthy and competitive corporate sector is fundamental for sustained and shared growth-sustained in that it withstands economic shocks, shared in that it delivers benefits to all of society. Presently, many developing and transition economies lack the supporting institutions and human resources so critical to sound corporate governance. The challenge for them is to adapt systems of corporate governance to their own corporate structures and implementation capacities, public and private, to create a culture of enforcement and compliance. For the first time, this report incorporates a framework that encompasses the widely differing regimes--political, economic, and social-within which corporations carry on their activities around the world. It recognizes the complexity of the concept of corporate governance and therefore focuses on the principles on which it is based.
Book Synopsis Crossing the Rubicon by : Michael C. Ruppert
Download or read book Crossing the Rubicon written by Michael C. Ruppert and published by New Society Publisher. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed investigative reporter and author of Confronting Collapse examines the global forces that led to 9/11 in this provocative exposé. The attacks of September 11, 2001 were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon examines how such a conspiracy was possible through an interdisciplinary analysis of petroleum, geopolitics, narco-traffic, intelligence and militarism—without which 9/11 cannot be understood. In reality, 9/11 and the resulting "War on Terror" are parts of a massive authoritarian response to an emerging economic crisis of unprecedented scale. Peak Oil—the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization—is driving the elites of American power to implement unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control. Crossing the Rubicon is more than a story of corruption and greed. It is a map of the perilous terrain through which we are all now making our way.

Book Synopsis Corporate Insolvency Law by : Vanessa Finch
Download or read book Corporate Insolvency Law written by Vanessa Finch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-12 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vanessa Finch provides an interesting look at corporate insolvency laws and processes. She adopts an interdisciplinary approach to place two questions at the centre of her discussion. Are current UK laws and procedures efficient, expert, accountable and fair? Are fundamentally different conceptions of insolvency law needed for it to develop in a way that serves corporate and broader social ends? Topics considered in this wide-ranging book include different ways of financing companies, causes of corporate failure and prospects for designing rescue-friendly processes. Also examined are alternative asset distribution of failed companies, allocations of insolvency risks and effects of insolvency on a company's directors and employees. Finch argues that changes of approach are needed if insolvency law is to develop with coherence and purpose. This book will appeal to academics and students at advanced undergraduate and graduate level, and to legal practitioners throughout the common law world.

Download or read book Public Policy written by Jonathan Boston and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics is a vigorously contested field. There are many competing moral frameworks, and different views about how normative considerations should inform the art and craft of governmental policy making. What is not in dispute, however, is that ethics matters. The ethical framework adopted by policy analysts and decision makers not only shapes how policy problems are defined, framed and analysed, but also influences which ethical principles and values are taken into account and their weighting. As a result, ethics can have a profound impact, both on the character of the policy process and the choices made by decision makers. PUBLIC POLICY: WHY ETHICS MATTERS brings together original contributions from leading scholars and practitioners with expertise in various academic disciplines, including economics, philosophy, physics, political science, public policy and theology. The volume addresses three main issues: fist, the ethical considerations that should inform the conduct of public officials and the task of policy analysis; second, the ethics of climate change; and third, ethics and economic policy. While the contributors have varying views on these important issues, they share a common conviction that the ethical dimensions of public policy need to be better understood and given proper attention in the policy-making process.
Book Synopsis The Future of Financial Regulation by : Iain G MacNeil
Download or read book The Future of Financial Regulation written by Iain G MacNeil and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-12 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Financial Regulation is an edited collection of papers presented at a major conference at the University of Glasgow in spring 2009, co-sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council World Economy and Finance Programme and the the Australian Research Council Governance Research Network. It draws together a variety of different perspectives on the international financial crisis which began in August 2007 and later turned into a more widespread economic crisis following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the autumn of 2008. Spring 2009 was in many respects the nadir since valuations in financial markets had reached their low point and crisis management rather than regulatory reform was the main focus of attention. The conference and book were deliberately framed as an attempt to re-focus attention from the former to the latter. The first part of the book focuses on the context of the crisis, discussing the general characteristics of financial crises and the specific influences that were at work this time round. The second part focuses more specifically on regulatory techniques and practices implicated in the crisis, noting in particular an over-reliance on the capacity of regulators and financial institutions to manage risk and on the capacity of markets to self-correct. The third part focuses on the role of governance and ethics in the crisis and in particular the need for a common ethical framework to underpin governance practices and to provide greater clarity in the design of accountability mechanisms. The final part focuses on the trajectory of regulatory reform, noting the considerable potential for change as a result of the role of the state in the rescue and recuperation of the financial system and stressing the need for fundamental re-appraisal of business and regulatory models.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Public Relations by : Kevin Moloney
Download or read book Rethinking Public Relations written by Kevin Moloney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All PR, whether for charities or arms manufacturers, is weak propaganda. Though it has its undeniable benefits (it grabs attention and helps circulate more information), it also has costs (such as selective messaging). This extensively revised edition of a classic text fully investigates PR, updating and expanding earlier arguments and building upon the successful first edition with new thoughts, data and evidence. Thought-provoking and stimulating, Rethinking Public Relations 2nd Edition challenges conventional PR wisdom. It develops the accepted thinking on the most important question facing PR - its relationship with democracy - and finds a balance of advantages and disadvantages which leave a residue of concern. It tackles topical issues such as: PR as a form of propaganda which flourishes in a democracy the connections between PR and journalism the media, promotions culture and persuasion. Designed to appeal to final year undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers studying public relations, media and communications studies, this book explores the most important relationship PR has – the connection with democracy – and asks what benefits or costs it brings to politics, markets and the media.
Book Synopsis The Asset Protection Scheme by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book The Asset Protection Scheme written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-12-21 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treasury's Asset Protection Scheme to protect over £280 billion of Royal Bank of Scotland's financial assets against losses has, so far, only been partially successful in encouraging lending to creditworthy borrowers on the scale originally envisaged. The Scheme, launched in early 2009, initially involved two banks. RBS eventually put £282 billion of assets into the Scheme, while Lloyds Banking Group paid £2.5 billion to exit the Scheme in November 2009 and instead raised additional capital from shareholders. The principal elements of the Scheme, particularly the first loss, were based on a robust assessment of incentives and on as complete information on the underlying assets as were available at the time. As part of the Scheme, Lloyds and RBS agreed lending targets. While both banks met targets for mortgage lending, there was a shortfall of £30 billion against targets for lending to business. Value for money in the longer term will depend heavily on incentives built into the Scheme to encourage good management of assets. Establishing a requirement for RBS to bear the first £60 billion of losses (a 'first loss') was crucial in providing the right incentive for the bank to manage its assets effectively. However, if the first loss is exceeded, RBS will have less financial incentive to avoid further losses although the bank considers it will still have a legal and moral obligation to manage the assets as best it can. The position of taxpayers would be particularly vulnerable if losses were to exceed about £73 billion

Book Synopsis Financial stability and transparency by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Treasury Committee
Download or read book Financial stability and transparency written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Treasury Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-03-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period since early August 2007 has been one of large-scale turbulence and instability in global financial markets. This report examines the causes of the dislocation of international financial markets, subsequent developments in global financial markets and lessons learnt, as well as the prospects for international action and other developments to promote financial stability and transparency. The unfolding crisis of confidence is important given the particular impact on the United Kingdom through the run on the Northern Rock Bank. The report deals with: changes in financial markets; events leading to the closure of the credit markets; events since August 2007; international action; securitisation markets; credit rating agencies; off-balance sheet vehicles; and heeding the warnings. This last chapter finds that warnings from the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority on the deteriorating financial situation in 2007 were not taken on board by some banks and building societies.
