Banking Regulations of UK and US Financial Markets Book

Dalvinder Singh provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the legal aspects of prudential supervision of financial bank conglomerates. This gives the reader a broader understanding of the core processes of banking supervision. By using the UK as a case study, a comparative approach is made with other countries such as the US to illustrate the different ways of regulating a 'deregulated market'. The author examines the theoretical, economic, political and policy issues that underpin the purpose of prudential supervision. These perspectives are presented interchangeably to illustrate the important aspects of banking supervision. An analysis is made of the important features of prudential supervision such as, corporate governance, enforcement sanctions, the role of external auditors and accountability of financial regulators. These are considered in the context of broad-policy considerations which render prudential supervision necessary, namely financial stability and depositor protection. The book will be of interest to academics, policymakers, regulators and practitioners. Equally, the work will serve specialist undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in economics, law and management which focus on financial regulation.Read More
