The Financial Services Lawyers Association is pleased to announce its annual essay competition.
The title for this year’s competition is as follows:
“Senior people somehow manage to keep their fingerprints off the relevant documents”
Is there now a fair and effective system of accountability for senior people in the financial services industry?
