OverviewThe international financial system is in a state of flux, with rapidly changing legislation influenced by financial scandal in the United States (namely Sarbanes-Oxley). The purpose of this book is to survey both the American and the European Union financial system and regulation, with particular emphasis on the United Kingdom, the European financial capital; to catalogue what has yet to be done regarding regulatory initiatives in the United States; to investigate the work and purpose of international financial organizations; to investigate theories of financial disclosure and corporate governance; and to investigate the failed attempt to re-regulate the Japanese capital markets. Unveiling a new role and mandate for financial regulation, the author concludes that additional regulation is needed to stabilize the international banking system; that the international accounting system must be rationalized through legal structures; and that the international monetary system is in dire need of a major overhaul.
