A new centre, the Centre for Financial Regulation and Innovation (CFRI) is being set up by the Department of Accounting & Finance.
The formal launch of the Centre will take place on Friday, May 6, as part of Engage with Strathclyde week. It will be followed by the “Financial Services: Reputation, Regulation and current Market Trends” event which aims to present and discuss how the financial regulatory authorities can provide guidelines to enhance the robustness of the financial markets, whilst minimising the risk of future turmoil in those markets.
The goal is to enable practitioners to exchange ideas on contemporary issues and engage with academics in identifying ways on how to resolve them.
The event will also explore how to develop measures to improve efficiency, operations and disclosure, and restore the public and markets’ confidence in the financial system through presentations and panel debate.
The event will be followed by a networking lunch.
Registration and refreshments will be available from 10.30am and lunch will be provided at 1.00pm. Click here to register.
