However, there are few agreed principles in this important area. The OECD’s Network of Regulators has been developing ‘Principles for the Governance of Regulators’ which has built on work undertaken by DPC and the SSA in Victoria. Simon led the DPC work and supported the OECD in revising it for an international audience The speaker:    Simon Corden is currently Director, Government Advisory Services Advisory at KPMG where he has recently returned after a secondment to the Commission of Audit.
