In our fourth regulation and governance conference jointly organised by the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University: we want to consider regulatory responses to the current financial crises. Recent reviews of UK and European corporate governance (Walker, Kay, Vickers, EC etc.) suggest poor governance is partly to blame. Some reforms have been instigated already, but to what effect? Are we resorting to quick fixes? How should the interests of consumers, private and public sector bodies, government and regulators be balanced and, in the long run, are good stewardship and innovation promoted by more regulation or hindered by it?





Guest speaker: Sir Adrian Cadbury is a preeminent figure in Corporate Governance.  He chaired the UK Committee on Financial Aspects of Corporate Governance (1992).  His report led to the ‘Cadbury Code’, the forerunner of the current UK Code on Corporate Governance.








Key speakers include Peter Montagnon (Senior Investment Adviser, Financial Reporting Council), Graham Russell (Chief Executive, BRDO, UK Govt. Dept. of Business Innovation & Skills), Stephen Bourne (President, Cambridge University Press), Brian Cheffins (Professor of Corporate Law, University of Cambridge) & David Seidl  (Professor of Organisation & Management, University of Zurich).








Our aim, as always, is to foster discussion and exchange ideas between governance and regulation practitioners, policymakers and academics (including PhD students). To this end we invite you to join us either as a delegate or to present your own theoretical, policy or research paper at one of the day’s sessions. Please email your abstract of up to 500 words for either a poster or paper to reg.gov@anglia.ac.uk by 01 July 2012.
