Welcome Governance Matters, my personal website which disseminates research and practical information on matters relating to financial institutions, FinTech and market-based finance governance.

This website includes sections labeled ACADEME, providing material relating to scholarly corporate governance literature, PRACTIQUE with practical posts, vids, and business surveys, and a link to my BLOG, Future Governance.
 
This website focuses on corporate governance where practice and academia meet to consider important policy-based issues relating to financial markets, shadow banking, FinTech and market-based finance.
