Compiled by Michael Foot CBE [former executive director of the Bank of England, spearheaded the creation of the Financial Services Industry, currently inspector of Bank and Trust Companies for the Bahamas], this reflects Michael’s widespread contacts in the field of financial compliance and regulation and ensures a truly global perspective both on improving existing regulation, and also implementing where little currently exists. Comprising 11 papers with contributions from the Financial Services Authority here in the UK, to the Chinese University in Hong Kong, this is vital for anyone working in the compliance or enforcement process, or who just wishes to tap safely into emerging markets.
