Bankers under pressure to break the law?

Bankers admit misconduct is still rife in the financial sector, according to a recent survey:

  • 26% of those surveyed said they had seen or had first-hand knowledge of breaking the rules
  • 33% said they felt under pressure from the bonus or compensation plan to break the law or behave in an unethical way.

The survey published by law firm Labaton Sucharow in 2012, covered 500 professionals evenly divided across the US and the UK.
