The Tax Take with Brian Keegan
With the new regulation framework in the US, the pace of regulation has picked up. Whether that’s good remains to be seen
The current storm over the use of funds at Templemore Garda College pushes the normally dull topic of financial regulation into the limelight. Regulation is like the nut which holds the wheel on the car. You don’t appreciate its importance until the wheel falls off. Good regulation stops bad things happening. Excellent regulation confers a competitive advantage. Well-regulated countries are safer to invest in, and businesses with a good record of regulatory compliance often do better because an enhanced reputation generates and retains customers. Such is the theory at least.
