Culture
Culture underpins all the actions of the case study banks.
But culture does not act in isolation rather it is influenced by
a variety of other factors such as
• Poor Macro Economics: Gordon Brown’s ‘Light Touch Financial
Regulations’ pre-2008
• Weak Regulators: Inability of FCA to act against GRG
• Weak Diligence: Sub-prime lending by banks
• Industry Practice: Banks’ influence over LIBOR interest rate
