The financial services industry worldwide has undergone perhaps one of the most turbulent and wide reaching upheavals in recent times. In response to the financial crisis of 2008, many Central Banks around the world have created a range of legislative and regulatory reforms. These are designed to ensure financial stability, consumer & investor protection and avoid past failures arising again.
