HSBC slow to fix compliance lapses: report
Court-appointed monitor's report raises doubts on effectiveness of government's use of deferred and non-prosecution agreements

The critical, 1,000-page report, which summarises HSBC's first year under a court-appointed monitor, raises doubts about how effective the government's use of deferred- and non-prosecution agreements is in reining in wrongdoing and changing culture at the world's largest banks.
