Publisher's Synopsis
The 2008 global financial crisis focused the world's attention, more than any other single event since the 1930s, on the instability of the financial system. In the wake of Lehman Brothers' collapse, regulations emerged with a common purpose: to bring transparency to the financial market. The LEI Handbook: EDI's Guide to LEI and Other Codes explains the lynchpin of this new system: The Legal Entity Identifier, or LEI - a universal code enabling consistent and accurate identification of all legal entities, including non-financial institutions, taking part in financial transactions.
No other handbook offers such a comprehensive, up-to-date examination of the codes which govern today's financial system. With detailed information on more than 40 codes, The LEI Handbook is an essential source for anyone in finance.
