Abstract

The article discusses several aspects of America's financial regulations as of 2014, and it mentions the U.S. Congress, the process of regulating during a financial crisis, and statutes such as the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the nation's Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Systemic risk and the global financial system are examined, along with the bribery provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977.
