Just published, Richard's new book - "Guidance for the Directors of Banks"

I'm quite excited - not to say relieved - that the World Bank's Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) has now published my short book, "Guidance for the Directors of Banks."

You can get your copy as a free download - from the GCGF's home page (www.gcgf.org), or here: http://bit.ly/1a36BBH.

I wrote the book mainly for three groups of readers: 

1. New directors who have experience in banking; 
2. Directors who understand governance, but with no banking background; and 
3. New directors who have no experience of either banking or being a director.

If you take a look, I hope you'll see that the principles aren't unique to banking! My aim, as I say at the start, is to generate some intelligent questions in your boardroom. If it does that, it has succeeded.
