K. Hari Babu says: 16 Jul 2010 10:37

If there is no fraud or cheating by any share-brokers or Corporates or Institutions, the average man's investment in India will be in trillions. Only thing is he should believe the present system and share-brokers, corporates and other institutions should maintain business ethics perfectly. Business without morality is not a bussiness in the real sense.

About the Speech:
As the fallout of the financial crisis continues to devastate the real economy, the design of effective and flexible regulatory and corporate governance rules, principles and norms has become a global policy imperative.

In this context, Prof. O’Brien spoke of the need to shift from government to governance, to accountability, to responsibility, and finally to integrity, a process which requires inter-disciplinary collaboration and an application of behavioural economics. He argued that only by embedding integrity through design can the inevitable gaps in any new regulatory framework be adequately resolved.
