The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) scandal is a significant event in the financial history of the United Kingdom. In 2007 and 2009, RBS was the largest bank in the world, with assets of £2.4 trillion and operations in 55 countries. However, the bank's rapid growth and expansion under former CEO Fred Goodwin led to a catastrophic collapse.
In his book "Shredded: The Rise and Fall of the Royal Bank of Scotland," Ian Fraser delves into the series of misjudgments, toxic internal culture, and light-touch regulatory regime that contributed to RBS's near-collapse. Fraser examines why RBS became the most expensive bank in the world to bail out and why a culture of impunity was allowed to develop in the banking sector.
This new edition of the book brings the story up to date, chronicling the string of scandals that have come to light since taxpayers rescued RBS. It concludes with an evaluation of the attempts of the bank's post-crisis chief executives, Stephen Hester and Ross McEwan, to dismantle Goodwin's disastrous legacy and restore the damaged institutions to health.
The RBS scandal highlights the need for stronger regulation and oversight of the banking sector. It also raises questions about the role of corporate governance, the responsibilities of board members, and the impact of executive compensation on decision-making.
The book "Shredded" is a gripping account of the RBS scandal, providing a detailed analysis of the events that led to the bank's collapse and the challenges faced by its post-crisis management. It is a must-read for anyone interested in financial history, banking regulation, and corporate governance.
