The presence of sound corporate governance in a financial
institution is important in maintaining the confidence of
both the market and the public. The power that corporate
governance holds over the success of some of the largest
financial institutions in the world is not to be
downplayed. This book methodically assesses the quality of
corporate governance and mechanisms of accountability
disclosures to various stakeholders. It is further
intended to provide fresh insights into some specific
corporate governance recommendations to help improve good
governance in financial institutions, particularly in the
United Kingdom and the EU but will also be applicable to
other major economies. It explores what, when and how
corporate governance has changed the financial institution
functions and corporate executive behaviour by critically
reviewing the pre- and post-financial crisis theoretical
and empirical literature. Increasingly driven by the
nature of complications, complexities and opacity in the
operations of financial systems, corporate governance
reporting plays an important role in the financial sector.
It will provide insights into corporate governance
disclosures over a long-term basis. This book should be a
valuable asset to support the research of practitioners,
students and all academics due to its stimulating and
reflective insights into this fascinating topic
