Sir Adrian Cadbury is one of a number of distinguished experts who will be speaking at the 4th Cambridge International Regulation and Governance Conference on 6 September. Booking details can be found at www.anglia.ac.uk/reggovconference
Under the banner, “More regulation, or better stewardship?” the conference will ask how far the global financial crisis has posed a challenge to existing systems of governance and regulation and where they should go from here.
Current reviews, both in the UK and Europe, have suggested that poor governance of major companies was one of the reasons behind the economic failure which began in 2008. Some reforms to the way in which these companies are controlled and regulated have already taken place, but as the Libor-fixing scandal suggests, big questions about governance remain.
The aim of the conference, which is being jointly hosted by the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University, is to encourage the exchange of ideas about these issues between practitioners specialising in governance and regulation, policy-makers and academics.
