It ought to be part of normal disclosure for financial and other institutions to disclose their pay and incentive practices. You could write a computer program that could score pay and incentives for propensity to abuse.<br /><br />And lets include Charities and NGOs with high paid executives in that, as well.jon liveseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764541874043694159.post-26122617305458927852013-12-13T13:04:09.913+00:002013-12-13T13:04:09.913+00:00£28 million?

Sounds like a lot of money, but presumably for an organisation the size of Lloyds, that's barely more than a rounding error in the accounts.<br /><br />I think you're spot on about regulatory fines being inadequate. On the other hand, if the directors were had been personally fined £28 million, then I guess that might focus a few minds. I would love to see directors being held personally liable a lot more often when this sort of thing happensAdamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764541874043694159.post-18417279049197653732013-12-13T09:52:57.282+00:002013-12-13T09:52:57.282+00:00High pressure selling of investment products has b...High pressure selling of investment products has been going on at Lloyds for a very long time.

I think that you must be right, Frances, to say that fines and compensation are inadequate, because these do not penalise those personally responsible for the scheme. But then neither does the resignation of the Board, since it appears that the person principally to blame left the Board some time ago. There needs to be some way of holding people to account effectively even though they've already left the scene, probably with a handsome financial rewardElliot Grantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764541874043694159.post-2371524665795803202013-12-12T17:49:20.027+00:002013-12-12T17:49:20.027+00:00Standing in a long LloydsTSB queue during a valuab...Standing in a long LloydsTSB queue during a valuable lunch hour, a member of staff tried to sell insurance products to this captive audience.
