Question: Using the example of one real and significant failure of a UK regulated firm’s behaviours in the financial sector, to illustrate your arguments, examine how risks arising from misconduct could adversely affect outcomes not just for consumers but also for citizens and societal stakeholders.
Ensure you pick a UK firm(e.g Barclays) not a company from another country.
The lecturer has asked to make an annotated reference list, so for every source that you use please write a sentence as to how this source has been useful to you.
Marks will be awarded for essay content, quality of critical analysis, quality of engagement with scholarly references and essay style and structure. The content, critical analysis and engagement with scholarly works forms the focus
of marking but it is often quite difficult to develop a well-directed and well- argued essay if there are weaknesses in structure, editing or phrasing. So please allocate enough time to do the research
To do well in this assessment, you must:
• demonstrate that you have understood the concept of misconduct and are
able to apply this concept to real examples,
• select a relevant UK example of conduct failure that effectively illustrates
the different aspects of the arguments you wish to make
• demonstrate that you have fully understood why and how societal
stakeholder / citizen detriment occurs in the context of the example you
have selected .
• evidence the above overtly and specifically through the development of
your argument
• demonstrate that you have independently and critically engaged with a
range of references from the scholarly literature in a credible manner
• use a suitable essay structure and appropriate grammar and relevant
subject-specific vocabulary to demonstrate your knowledge of the subject matter
