IT-GRC-Management – Governance, Risk und Compliance: Grundlagen und Anwendungen (Edition HMD)
by Matthias Knoll Susanne StrahringerIT-Governance, das vorausschauende, strukturierte strategische Planen und Steuern der IT, IT-Risikomanagement, das Beherrschen auch neuartiger IT-Risiken und IT-Compliance, das Beachten und Umsetzen relevanter Vorgaben gewinnen insbesondere im Zeitalter der digitalen Transformation zunehmend an Bedeutung. Ziel des Buches in der Reihe Edition HMD ist daher eine umfassende Beschäftigung mit den drei Disziplinen.Der Grundlagenteil des Herausgeberwerkes definiert die wichtigsten Begriffe und stellt den Zusammenhang zwischen den drei Eckpunkten des IT-GRC-Dreiecks vor. Denn obwohl Governance, Risk und Compliance getrennt betrachtet werden können, besteht zwischen ihnen eine charakteristische Verbindung. Erst im gut orchestrierten Zusammenspiel entfalten sie ihre volle Wirkung mit Blick auf die Steigerung des IT-Wertbeitrags für das Gesamtunternehmen.In den Beiträgen im zweiten Teil werden spezielle Fragestellungen im Kontext der jeweiligen Disziplinen, aber auch übergreifend diskutiert. Soweit möglich orientieren sich die Beiträge dazu an Anwendungsfällen. Die Diskussion anhand praxisorientierter Fragestellungen zeigt in besonderer Weise die Notwendigkeit für IT-GRC-Management in einem Zeitalter, in dem die IT nicht nur unterstützt, sondern Teil des Produktes oder sogar das Produkt selbst ist.

It Shouldn't Be This Hard to Serve Your Country: Our Broken Government and the Plight of Veterans
by David ShulkinThe former VA secretary describes his fight to save veteran health care from partisan politics and how his efforts were ultimately derailed by a small group of unelected officials appointed by the Trump White House.Known in health care circles for his ability to turn around ailing hospitals, Dr. David Shulkin was originally brought into government by President Obama to save the beleaguered Department of Veterans Affairs. When President Trump appointed him as secretary of the VA, Shulkin was as shocked as anyone.Yet this surprise was trivial compared to what Shulkin encountered as secretary: a team of political appointees devoted to stopping anyone -- including the secretary himself -- who stood in the way of privatizing the agency and implementing their political agenda. In this uninhibited memoir, Shulkin opens up about why the government has long struggled to provide good medical care to military veterans and the plan he had to solve these problems. This is a book about the commitment we make to the men and women who risk their lives fighting for our country, how the VA was finally beginning to live up to it, and why the new administration may now be taking us in the wrong direction.

ITAL CONSTIT JUSTICE GLOBAL CONTEXT C
by Marta Cartabia Andrea Simoncini Vittoria Barsotti Paolo G. CarozzaItalian Constitutional Justice in Global Context is the first book ever published in English to provide an international examination of the Italian Constitutional Court (ItCC), offering a comprehensive analysis of its principal lines of jurisprudence, historical origins, organization, procedures, and its current engagement with transnational European law. The ItCC represents one of the strongest and most successful examples of constitutional judicial review, and is distinctive in its structure, institutional dimensions, and well-developed jurisprudence. Moreover, the ItCC has developed a distinctive voice among global constitutional actors in its adjudication of a broad range of topics from fundamental rights and liberties to the allocations of governmental power and regionalism. Nevertheless, in global constitutional dialog, the voice of the ItCC has been almost entirely absent due to a relative lack of both English translations of its decisions and of focused scholarly commentary in English. This book describes the "Italian Style" in global constitutional adjudication, and aims to elevate Italian constitutional jurisprudence to an active participant role in global constitutional discourse. The authors have carefully structured the work to allow the ItCC's own voice to emerge. It presents broad syntheses of major areas of the Court's case law, provides excerpts from notable decisions in a narrative and analytical context, addresses the tension between the ItCC and the Court of Cassation, and positions the development, character, and importance of the ItCC's jurisprudence in the larger arc of global judicial dialog.
Italian Banking and Financial Law: Regulating Activities (Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions)
by Domenico SiclariItalian Banking and Financial Law provides a thorough overview of the banking sector in Italy, offering historical perspectives, insight into current developments and suggestions for future evolution.
Italian Banking and Financial Law: Regulating Activities (Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions)
by Domenico SiclariIn today's increasingly global and integrated financial climate, there is an amplified need for cooperation between regulators and supervisors across the globe in order to promote economic growth and maintain competitive markets. However, idiosyncrasies remain within local markets, and for those wishing to participate within them, it is necessary to understand the distinctive qualities of each. This book explores the intermediaries of the Italian financial system. It examines the banks, investment services, electronic payment institutions, insurance companies and credit rating agencies functioning in the country, to explore how Italian regulation functions within the context of a wider harmonizing trend. The authors present a study on the current control models of the Italian markets in the wake of changes induced by the privatization of public banks, the increased size and complexity of the intermediaries, the increased level of competition, and the internationalization of the financial innovation. They explain how the country's financial markets are controlled by a combination of bodies, including the State, the authorities and the market participants themselves.
Italian Banking and Financial Law: Regulating Activities (Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions)
by Domenico SiclariItalian banks and financial intermediaries are subject to extensive regulation which has evolved throughout the country's history. There has also been much change to the country's financial regulation in recent years in response to the globalization of markets and intermediaries. The Italian administrative and regulatory system is often perceived as a major obstacle to economic productivity, and some causes of this ineffectiveness are deeply rooted and date back to the Italian unification and juridical culture. This book provides an overview of the Italian regulation of banking and financial activities, and tracks the evolution of its 'economic Constitution' and market trends. It explores a range of topics within Italian regulation, including the regulation of banking activities, investment services and collective portfolio management. It examines in detail the relationship between intermediaries and customers, public offerings of financial instruments and products, public takeover bids, listed companies, insurance and reinsurance business. Among other current topics the authors discuss the link between investor protection and confidence in the financial markets; and assess the financial markets as a source of financing for companies.
Italian Banking and Financial Law: Regulating Activities (Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions)
by Domenico SiclariWithin an environment made difficult by the continuing economic crisis, the Italian model for crisis management and resolution has helped to avoid many difficulties faced by intermediaries across the globe. However, the Italian model for crisis management will be forced to adapt to the new EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, which introduces a unified regime for such events in all EU countries. This book explores the various methods for crisis management employed in Italian finance. The authors discuss procedures used in the banking and insurance sectors, such as deposit guarantee schemes and alternative dispute resolution systems. They also explore the evolution of the administrative sanctioning systems, and the roles of tax rules and credit rating agencies in Italian finance. This book analyses the evolution of the various crisis management processes, and discusses potential goals and improvements within the context of recent measures suggested by the European Commission.

The Italian Legal System: An Introduction, Second Edition
by Michael A. Livingston Francesco Parisi Pier Giuseppe MonateriFor fifty years, the first edition of The Italian Legal System has been the gold standard among English-language works on the Italian legal system. The book's original authors, Mauro Cappelletti, John Henry Merryman, and Joseph M. Perillo, provided not only an overview of Italian law, but a definition of the field, together with an important contribution to the general literature on comparative law. The book explains the unique "Italian style" in doctrine, law, and interpretation and includes an extremely well-written introduction to Italian legal history, government, the legal profession, and civil procedure and evidence. In this fully-updated and revised second edition, authors Michael A. Livingston, Pier Giuseppe Monateri, and Francesco Parisi describe the substantial changes in Italian law and society in the intervening five decades—including the creation and impact of the European Union, as well as important advances in comparative law methodology. The second edition poses timely, relevant questions of whether and to what extent the unique Italian style of law has survived the pressures of European unification, American influence, and the globalization of law and society in the intervening period. The Italian Legal System, Second Edition is an important and stimulating resource for those with specific interest in Italy and those with a more general interest in comparative law and the globalization process.
