Welcome to the CCP Research Foundation
The CCP Research Foundation is a social enterprise. It has no political affiliations. As a Community Interest Company, it will seek to support academic and civil society research projects. It was created by its directors - Roger McCormick, Chris Stears and Tania Duarte in July 2014.
The Foundation sponsors and encourages research projects and related activities in the Conduct, Culture and People arena, particularly those that are concerned with changing societal expectations, public trust in institutions and relationships between civil society, government and enterprise. Projects may be centred on the Foundation's activities alone or may be conducted with other bodies, for example, in the academic world.
The Foundation is always interested to talk to, and meet, anyone who is interested in starting a new project or working as a researcher or (of course!) helping us with funding. Please do contact us if you would like to know more.
Legal and Conduct Risk in the Financial Markets, (3 ed.), Roger McCormick and Chris Stears
CCP Research Foundation is pleased to see the publication of "Legal and Conduct Risk in the Financial Markets" by Oxford University Press, authored by two of the Foundation's directors - Roger McCormick and Chris Stears.
The book, now on its third edition, focuses on legal, reputational and conduct risk in financial markets, tackling issues ranging from post financial crisis policy, structural and regulatory change to risk management technique, common issues and current proposals.
