Rebuilding Trust in Banks / Wiley Finance Editions (PDF)

An outline of the core principles and strategies required to
restore the credibility of the global finance industry

Since 2008, the global financial industry has lurched from
crisis to crisis, calamity to calamity, resulting in an epic loss
of public trust in banking and financial institutions.
Rebuilding Trust in Banks argues that this series of
disasters have usually been the result failures of leadership and
governance, combined with unenforced systems of checks and
balances. Often, leaders lose their way, believing their own hype
and buying into their own propaganda. The more successful these
leaders are initially the greater their self-confidence grows along
with the certainty that they're right. The result is a
dangerous hubris with no countervailing power to stop or change
reckless, unethical, or self-interested strategies. This book
offers a solution, with useful benchmarks for corporate governance
and a global perspective.
