Since the first edition of A Practitioner's Guide to The FSA Regulation of Banking was published, the regulatory environment in which the banking sector operates has been continually evolving. The impact of the Basel 2 Accord and EU directives on money laundering, market abuse and markets in financial instruments, together with the conclusion of the FSA's enforcement review, means that banks now operate in a completely changed regulatory environment.
This title focuses on the impact of these changes on the FSA's risk-based approach to regulation and assesses the impact they will have on the way banks are managed on a day-to-day basis. It examines, amongst other areas, credit risk, liquidity risk and operational risk, as well as providing detailed commentary on authorisation and supervision process.
