Report: "A comparison of global regulatory responses to the
financial crisis"

The report, produced by Selwyn Blair-Ford, Senior Domain Expert at FRSGlobal, was originally produced in July 2009 to set out what the major regulators in the UK, US, EU, and regulatory bodies (such as the Bank for International Settlements) have focused on to prevent the reoccurrence of further financial crises.

Blair-Ford said: "Those responsible for tracking and understanding the regulatory environment have a very difficult time at present. The different policy making bodies are coming out with a deluge of proposals, but each with a different language and tradition for describing similar concepts. There are also differences in meaning and emphasis to contend with. I put this report together to obtain a holistic view of what has been proposed, and ultimately help the industry make informed decisions about future requirements."
