The author, Mr. Roy Girasa, uses his legal expertise to expertly provide the reader with a comprehensive and comparative view of the regulations that govern both the traditional and shadow banking industries. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which delves into traditional banking as well as the Dodd-Frank Act and its impact. Part two examines shadow banking and its risks while part three explores the opinions, efforts and recommendations of several reputable international institutions and concludes with a discussion of possible future developments.
