Governance of Financial Institutions
This book examines the topical issue of governance of financial institutions, covering banks, investment firms, asset management, pension funds and insurance firms. It comprehensively analyses the impact and practice of the new and more robust requirements for management functions under MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) and other regulation such as MAR (Market Abuse Regulation).
Thematically grouped chapters provide extensive coverage of the main areas of change and interest in this field: financial regulation, models, systemic risk, culture and ethics, and conduct and culture. Each chapter employs an interdisciplinary approach, providing high-quality analysis and discussion of the governance of financial institutions of a practical, as well as theoretical, nature.
Written by a team of expert contributors, comprised of leading scholars with broad practical experience, and leading practitioners in the field of corporate governance, this book provides much needed analysis of this important topic and the new rules for those advising financial institutions.

Reviews
An important contribution.
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.
