Details

The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) – did it have to happen? What caused it? More importantly, why? Could it have been avoided? Could it happen again?

In the new book Lessons in Corporate Governance from the Global Financial Crisis, Leonard Yong an auditor/economist, presents an alternative, constructive, non-legalistic and multi-dimensional perspective of the GFC. Leonard explains many of the causes of the crisis, looks at similar events in the past and reinforces the fact that much could have been done to avoid the GFC and then provides some guidance as to the basic controls that should have been employed.

Forecasting may not predict all events but proper audit and management controls may well have avoided or at least reduced the effect of the GFC.
