The Day After Tomorrow: Walker's Final Report

On November 26, 2009, Sir David Walker will publish his final report following the review of the corporate governance of banks and other financial institutions. Walker will answer questions before the Treasury Committee as part of the Committee’s broader enquiry into financial regulation.

What will the future of UK regulation look like? Will the report go far enough to make any real changes? Will there be a tidal wave of regulatory change as a result?

Join Pat Newberry, Chairman of the UK financial services (FS) regulatory practice, Tim Rooke, partner with Ernst & Young, Julian Morgan, Associate Partner in Financial Risk Management, KPMG and Peter Elstob Complinet Senior Editor for an in-depth discussion and analysis of the report which will cover:

• The impact of the recommendations on risk management, board level responsibility and remuneration
• The UK approach and whether it is consistent with international practices
• What are the key issues and initiatives for risk and compliance professionals?
• The implications for the FSA’s approved persons regime
• Has enough been done and where do we go from here?
