Governance & Fintech (12 Days of Fintech #11)

We round the final postings for 12 Days of Fintech with a sophisticated look at the critical issue of governance (both corporate overall, and specifically in the context of asset management) - and how it can be amplified by technology.
John D'Agostino, a long-time go-to governance expert and subject of two NY Times best sellers about high (and low) finance, joins in dialog with Sharmila Kassam, Chief Operating Officer of Nasdaq Asset Owner Solutions and a noted authority herself on governance.^ They reviewed over 700 boards of directors of asset management entities to examine best practice, failure modes, and opportunities for improvement.
- What are the key principles of good governance?
- How do they seek to address failures of the past such as Bernie Madoff?
- What can be done to improve capacities of asset managers around next-generation governance?
- What role can data play in this equation? How can RegTech innovation open up new possibilities?
John and Sharmila share their insights into these and related questions in Chapter 11 of Global Fintech.
