Compliance and Regulation in the International Financial Services Industry [Paperback]

Patrick Callioni (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 2008

Can compliance be turned into a competitive advantage, rather than a driver of costs? Are financial institutions merely passive recipients of government intervention or is it possible for smart corporates to play a role in shaping regulation and compliance, nationally and internationally?

This book addresses these challenges and explores all these opportunities. It provides detailed guidance for those who are responsible for designing and applying compliance regimes in companies. That guidance will be provided in context: legal, social and economic. Understanding the context is essential to anyone wishing to extract value from compliance, possibly turning a cost center into a competitive advantage.
