The book also includes an extensive section on how to properly perfect liens by filing a financing statement, as well as sections on how to perfect liens through possession and control. The book still further includes extensive sections on the scope of Article 9, important concepts of Article 9, priority of liens and the intersection of Article 9 and the United States Bankruptcy Code and fraudulent conveyance laws.

In the years since the 2008 financial crisis, U.S. federal prosecutors have brought dozens of criminal cases against the world's most powerful banks, charging them with manipulating financial indices, helping their customers evade taxes, evading sanctions, and laundering money. To settle these cases, global banks like UBS, Barclays, HSBC and BNP Paribas paid tens of billions of dollars in fines. They also agreed to extensive reforms, hiring hundreds of compliance officers, spending billions on new systems, and installing independent monitors. In effect, they agreed to become worldwide enforcers of U.S. law, including financial sanctions-sometimes despite their own governments' protests.

This book examines the U.S. enforcement campaign against global banks across four areas: benchmark manipulation, tax evasion, sanctions violations, and sovereign debt. It shows that U.S. prosecutors have unilaterally carved out a new role as global bank regulators, heralding a fundamental shift in how international finance is overseen. Their ability to do so stems from U.S. control over access to vital hubs of the international financial system. In some areas, unilateral U.S. actions have ushered in important multilateral reforms, such as the rise of automatic tax information exchange and better-regulated financial indices. In other areas, such as financial sanctions, unilateralism has attracted protests from other states and spurred attempts to challenge U.S. dominance of international finance.

Is your retirement fund controlled by the government? If you have a 401(k), it is.

We all know that the government doesn't generate money; it takes it. Yet if we're investing our money into a qualified retirement plan, such as a 401(k), then we're blindly entrusting the government to manage our future income. Conventional wisdom touts it as the best choice, the only choice really, if you want to have a retirement fund at all. Unfortunately, we discover too late that our hard-earned investment doesn't take us as far in our retirement as we thought it would.

In Unshackled, author Zachariah Parry doesn't mince words as he opens your eyes to the reality of investing in a qualified plan and the limitations imposed upon your money. With the knowledge and experience only a seasoned attorney can offer, Parry exposes the truth about the conventional wisdom that has kept you broke. Within this book, you'll learn:

- Exactly what a 401(k) and other qualified plans are

- The difference between savvy (and legal) tax planning and tax evasion

- The attributes of a perfect tax-advantaged vehicle

- A tried-and-proven way to quickly get out of debt

- How to grow your money and keep more of it

And much more!

By the end of this book, conventional wisdom will be thrown out the window. You'll be empowered to sluff off those chains and finally take control of your -money so that you can live a life that is truly unshackled!

This book proposes a new way of thinking about the controversial and complex challenges associated with the regulation of high-cost credit, specifically payday lending. These products have received significant attention in both the media and political arena. The inadequacy of regulatory interventions has created ongoing problems with the provision of high-cost credit, particularly for consumers with lesser bargaining power and who are already financially vulnerable.

The book tackles two specific gaps in the existing literature. The first involves inadequate analysis of the relevant philosophical concepts around high-cost credit, which can result in an over-simplification of what are particularly complex issues. The second is a lack of engagement in both the market and lived experience of borrowers, resulting in limited understanding of those who use these financial products.

The Future of High-Cost Credit explores the theoretical grounding, policy initiatives and interdisciplinary perspectives associated with high-cost credit, making a novel and insightful contribution to the existing literature. The problems with debt extend far beyond the legal sphere, and the book will therefore be of interest to many other academic disciplines, as well as for those working in public policy and 'the third sector'.

When central banks started raising interest rates in reaction to the spike in inflation which followed the COVID-19 epidemic, they put an end to a more than a decade of low for longer interest rates to which the financial sector had adjusted their balance sheets and business models. The resulting new monetary order has required all parts of the financial sector to make serious adjustments. The fate of the US and Swiss banks caught up in the March 2023 bank turmoil can be seen as a cautionary tale for those who do not adjust in a timely fashion. This book reviews how the financial sector evolved during low for longer and examines how monetary policy, financial regulation and supervision, the banking and the non-bank financial sectors can be expected to evolve under this new order.

The duty of financial institutions to self-regulate their compliance with the law was triggered by relatively recent developments. Financial institutions (banks, mutual funds, securities exchanges and advisers) have grown larger and were operating internationally. Government and outside regulators could not effectively supervise and prevent institutional violations. The failures and violations of such institutions were costly to the country, to their employees and to their investors. The failures prompted legislators and regulators to require these institutions to self-regulate and self-police to prevent violation of the law.

The Law of Institutional Self-Regulation (Compliance) is addressed to law students and practitioners. It aims at understanding and managing a system of self-regulation by financial institutions by a dual system of both law and culture. To be sure, the law requires institutions to self-regulate. But rules of law are not enough. In fact, the main mechanism for self-regulation is institutional culture. Like law, culture is a system of rules and their enforcement. Unlike the law, culture rules are established and enforced by institutions, internally. Thus, both law and culture aim at ensuring institutional compliance with the law.

Even though most of the materials and cases in this book involve financial institutions, a similar design of self-regulation applies to any institution. Students and practitioners should be sensitive to signs that maylead to institutional violations of the law. They should note the signs of tendencies that may lead to violations of the law and focus on measures that are likely to prevent such violations.

This book notes the differences between the Law Officers and Compliance Officers, the evolving recognition of compliance as a profession, and the rise of compliance officers' independence. The book offers principles, approaches, and techniques, aimed at detecting and preventing institutions' legal violations such as, monitoring and investigations, employees' self-examination and rewarding employees for ensuring and supporting compliance with the law. To be sure, each institution, has its parents, history, business, powers and weaknesses, aspirations and competitors. This is why institutional self-regulation cannot be uniform and its culture must be adjusted to the law in its own special way--to reach the same application of the law to all.

Providing a thorough legal analysis of money in all its aspects, Mann on the Legal Aspect of Money has been the leading text on the private and public law of money ever since the publication of the first edition in 1939.
This latest edition of considers new issues that have had a significant impact on monetary law, such as Brexit, virtual currencies, and the continuing shadow of 'currency wars'. The text also includes new material on central banks and their role in currency and financial stability.

The book deals with the developments and legal challenges of digital money, providing a detailed evaluation of the status of Bitcoin as money. The text investigates the challenges that virtual currencies like Bitcoin pose to our fundamental assumptions about monetary institutions and to our understanding and definition of money.

In an EU context, the new edition reflects on the legal aspects of the Greek financial crisis, with an updated look at the role of the IMF and the ECB.

The eighth edition also inclusions analysis of the implications of Brexit, developments in damages and interest following on from the Sempra Metals case, the legal definition of a monetary union in Europe, and the conflict of anti-terrorist sanctions blocking financial resources. Altogether, this provides an up-to-date and detailed discussion of current matters, whilst continuing to provide an in-depth analysis on all aspects of monetary law in a single reference source.

This book opens with a simple introduction to financial markets, attempting to understand the action and the players of Wall Street by comparing them to the action and the players of main street. Firstly, it explores the definition of a security by its function, the departure from the buyer beware environment of corporate law and the entrance into the seller disclose environment of securities law. Secondly, it shows that the cost of disclosure rules is justified by their capacity to combat irrationalities, fads, and panics. The third section explains how the structure of class actions is designed to improve deterrence. Next it explores the economic harm from insider trading and how the law fights it. In sum, the book shows how all these parts of securities law serve the virtuous cycle from liquidity to accurate prices and more trading and how the great recession showed that our securities regulation reacted mostly adequately to the crisis.

The financial crisis of 2007-9 revealed serious failings in the regulation of financial institutions and markets, and prompted a fundamental reconsideration of the design of financial regulation. As the financial system has become ever-more complex and interconnected, the pace of evolution continues to accelerate. It is now clear that regulation must focus on the financial system as a whole, but this poses significant challenges for regulators. Principles of Financial Regulation describes how to address those challenges.

Examining the subject from a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective, Principles of Financial Regulation considers the underlying policies and the objectives of regulation by drawing on economics, finance, and law methodologies. The volume examines regulation in a purposive and dynamic way by framing the book in terms of what the financial system does, rather than what financial regulation is. By analysing specific regulatory measures, the book provides readers to the opportunity to assess regulatory choices on specific policy issues and encourages critical reflection on the design of regulation.

Regulatory change is one of the biggest challenges for banks active in international financial markets. Since the financial crisis of 2008, regulators have tightened the regimes and the cost of ensuring compliance with new rules has increased the cost of doing business. Implementing new regulation is not a one-off exercise, as most frameworks demand that the addressees need to be compliant with defined requirements at any time. So, financial institutions are forced to (i) understand the parts of the regulations which are applicable to them, (ii) identify the legal entities which need to achieve compliance, (iii) initially implement all requirements into day-to-day operational processes and (iv) reassure compliance from time to time. Often regulations consist of more than a single document. Most EU directives for example are equipped with an Implementation Regulation and various Delegated Regulations developed by the EU Commission. In reality those documents contain a lot of duplication and not all provisions apply to the addressee (e.g. the AIFMD contains many rules for Competent Authorities and ESMA). The pure mass of regulatory text, the language used and the document structure prevents even industry insiders from understanding the content by just reading the documents. This book intends to filter out all AIFMD provisions applicable to AIFMs and to present them in a digestible form and structure. It might also serve Independent Control Functions within the financial industry like Compliance, Operational Risk Control, Business Risk Management Units and Internal and External Audit Units as a guide for examining post implementation reviews or topic-related analysis. The structure of this book will allow you to quickly identify your specific topic of interest. Each of the 10 chapters offers you an introduction to the topic, an overview of the applicable provisions and a summary of the most important rules. If you need to develop an even deeper understanding, all AIFMD provisions are structured in flowcharts, including the regulation and the specific paragraph triggering the requirement. In the appendix you can find all AIFMD rules applicable to AIFMs. Hyperlinks allow you to quickly jump forward and back.
