Key lessons for banking risk management following the financial crisis

Dr. Madelyn Antoncic
Journal of Risk Management in Financial Institutions, 7 (4), 314-318 (2014)

Abstract

Many lessons have been learned from the financial crisis, and in its aftermath new regulation has been implemented to address issues which were highlighted by this crisis. However, arguably the two key reasons for the crisis (a lack of leadership and adequate governance, and a lack of functional regulation) remain open items. Without a governance framework that provides appropriate checks-and-balances, and without realigning regulation away from being determined according to a financial institution's incorporation and toward regulation according to its businesses, policy makers, regulators and the financial industry have all missed an opportunity to be better positioned to prevent another significant crisis in the future. Moreover, until there is a credible and appropriate resolution mechanism, banks remain too big to fail.

Keywords: governance framework; regulation; too big to fail
