The present paper constitutes an analysis of a combination of factors, which have contributed to the global financial crisis of 2007. The writer elaborates on, first, an indicative list of financial products associated with problematic results; second, the excessive risk taking from the part of professionals running major financial institutions; third, the threat imposed by excessive risk taking not only to individual financial institutions but also to the financial system as a whole. With this combination of factors in mind, the aim, at the conclusion of this work, is a proposed approach on both a procedural and a substantial framework for the liability of professionals undertaking excessive financial risk.
