Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to the papers in this volume, which are based on the workshop on Records and Information Management for Financial Risk Analysis and Management, held in Vancouver, Canada, 24–25 August 2011. The chapter contextualizes the papers presented at the workshop, and included in this volume, in relation to international initiatives to improve the transparency of global financial markets and to address information gaps identified as having contributed to or exacerbated the global financial crisis of 2007–2009. The chapter highlights the novel contributions made by each of the papers, and concludes with an examination of future research directions for an emergent field of financial records and information management.

Notes
- 1.
The dates of the financial crisis are open to debate; for example, Reinhardt and Rogoff refer to the crisis as the financial crisis of the late 2000s (see Reinhardt and Rogoff 2009). We have chosen to standardize the dates to 2007–2009 in this volume.
- 2.
The term “everyday techne” originates from the work of William Walters (2002) drawing on the ideas of the French philosopher and sociologist Bruno Latour, who in his study of the laboratory life of scientists saw how their social reality was constructed through everyday inscriptions in lab notes and report, etc. (Latour 1979, 1986).
- 3.
There have been many new oversight initiatives and institutions established worldwide. As per the paper in this volume by Mark Flood, Allan Mendelowitz, and Bill Nichols, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (U.S. Congress 2010) created the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and Office of Financial Research (OFR) to monitor threats to financial stability in the U.S. The Federal Reserve Board established a new Office of Financial Stability Policy and Research. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) established a new Office of Complex Financial Institutions.
