Summary of content The aim of this module is to enable students to critically assess the operation of financial regulators and regulations, analysing both the theoretical basis for, and practical application of, those regulators and regulations. The module examines theoretical approaches to understanding regulations, regulatory structures, and the role of both the regulator and the regulated. It also sets that theory in context through the study of regulation in practice, both in the UK and internationally, taking account of the developing role of technology in financial services and the challenges and opportunities this presents for regulators. In support of the aims of the programme, there is a particular focus on banking regulation and conduct of business regulation, as well as the importance of risk as a driver of both regulation and regulators.
