Financial Risk Management deals with risk management in businesses, particularly in banks and financial institutions.
It discusses the concepts of risk, its various sources and the need for risk management. Various types of risk like credit risk, market risk, operational risk, etc. are treated in detail.
The nook also raises awareness on the regulatory framework, best practices, legal issues, accountings issues, and tax issues relevant to risk management and discusses in detail the three pillars of Basel II. To relate the concepts and practice of risk management, case studies have been included from certain organizations which failed due to inadequate risk management.
The book is written primarily for Financial Risk Managers, CEOs, CFOs and Business Managers. The book will be equally beneficial for MBA, CFA, and CA students.
Since risk cannot be managed until it is measured/quantified, Financial Risk Management discusses the various methods available for measuring credit risk, market risk and operational risk. It also explains the various tools available to a Financial Risk Manager in an organization for managing risk.
