Abstract: Abstract The idea for this paper was sparked by the decision of the UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, in February 2009 to ask Sir David Walker to undertake a review of the corporate governance of UK banks and to report by the end of that year. The post-September 2008 banking crisis had revealed weaknesses in bank corporate governance and internal risk controls, as well as bank regulation and supervision.
