The Foundation Course


If you feel the need to understand a little more about the background to the EU and its single currency or for some insights into existing regulation, I have created a Foundation Course to help.

This consists of four on-line lectures – each split into three or four modules. You may select the complete Lecture (or just the module/s) to fill in any gaps you may feel you have.

If you are just coming into the financial services industry, perhaps at the beginning of your career, then the complete Foundation Course will give you the basic framework. But if you are switching sector part way through your career, then some of the modules may help you find your feet even quicker.

Graham Bishop

The Four Lectures cover the following topics:

  1. The EU: Origins and objectives; Creation of the single currency; Achievements relevant to financial services; Governance
  2. Development of EU financial services regulation: Single Market; FSAP; Lamfalussy Process; Current financial regulation architecture - the 2010 package.

  3. The global financial crisis of 2007 and onwards: The rise of the G20, Globalisation of financial regulation; the EU’s responses (as at autumn 2011).

  4. The 2010 regulatory reform package: Powers of Council, Parliament, Commission, Authorities; Current financial regulation architecture - the 2010 package; Regulations v Directives; Impact on UK regulation; Role of FSA. (Due by end-January 2012)
