Chapter 4 in Governance, Regulation and Bank Stability, 2014, pp 48-76 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The recent financial crisis demonstrated the crucial importance of corporate governance for the safety and stability of financial systems. The introduction of very complex and sophisticated prudential rules — Basel II above all — in the years before the crisis was unable to prevent the fact that banks could assume a volume of risks that they were incapable of managing in conditions of stability.
