Frontiers in Finance
While opinions are divided over where we are on the journey to economic recovery, few, would argue that the road to recovery ultimately be a long one. In this issue of frontiers in finance titled 'The long road ahead' we look into programs that have already been put in place to try to jump start the recovery, the almost inevitable regulatory reform that will follow, as well as some helpful advice for companies on some issues they need to think about how to emerge stronger as business recovers.
Overview

In “Major changes ahead: Making sense of regulation”, Brendan Nelson, Global Chairman Financial Services, highlights the need for regulatory reform and the various initiatives that are currently under discussion. Brendan and Scott Marcello, KPMG in the US, discuss how the role of the auditor could impact financial services in “Clarity and reality”. Our Global Sector Leaders met recently to discuss their different perspectives on the impact of regulation in banking, investment management and insurance, which raises some interesting opinions.

“Jump start: Reviving the US financial system: The Financial Stability Plan” provides an outline of the US government’s belief that stabilizing the financial system is the key to overall economic recovery. And in “Confidence must return: An investment management perspective”, Dave Seymour looks at how the industry must rebuild trust and confidence in order to succeed.
