Each month, the FIRST newsletter examines operational risk issues and provides excerpts from relevant cases taken from the FIRST database of operational risk events. The newsletter is designed to raise awareness of topical issues that can impact day-to-day business operations.

Our November 2006 edition examines several breaking issues involving the private equity sector, including collusion, the legitimacy of buying consortiums or clubs, and whether the size of the deals translate into increased vulnerability to insider trading. The newsletter also investigates several old-fashioned frauds that have recently surfaced in the sector.
