Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
In 1986 the Financial Services Act together with the 1987 Banking Act introduced the first significant wide ranging system of prudential practitioner-based regulation within financial markets, with the current model of statutory regulation enacted though the Financial Service and Markets Act, 2000. It is true to say that the ensuing relationship between the financial markets and their regulators has proved to be somewhat complex. Given the context of recent events in financial markets; attention is once again being focused on the area of regulation of these extensive and complex markets. It is also being focussed on the role and contribution made by the internal and indeed external compliance function.
This project is designed to consider whether increasing national and international regulation is a viable and sustainable solution within a profit focused industry. The approach taken to this project might focus on drivers for regulatory compliance within organisations (such as organisational culture); on changing financial institution business models in response to changing regulation; the impact of Basel on market competition; or on the costs/benefits of regulatory compliance.
In consequence, this work could evolve in a number of different ways depending on the interest and aptitude of the candidate, to embrace organisational integrity; the relationship dynamic between the regulated entities and their regulators; reporting and disclosure of regulatory compliance; or indeed predisposition to criminal exploitation.
