The Essentials of Risk Management, Second Edition

The content is comprehensive, clear and concise. But more chart for illustration will be even better

Very thorough. Good information for someone new to risk management in the financial industry.

In college, if you have notes, you won't need this.

Excellent book, exceeded my expectations.

It arrived in perfect conditions!

Easy to understand, reader friendly.

Great Item and Fast shipping and perfectly described. Thanks so much!

an easy to follow book covering all areas of risk. I recommend the book to anyone working in the financial industry but most important to regulators

I first bought this over a decade ago, before interviewing for graduate Risk roles. Very useful as a broad overview for those new to the field. Not a lot of detail into any one area of Risk, so if you spent more than a year in any one area the book would no longer be useful for that area.

no maths at all

Very good coverage on different aspects of risk management in banks drawing upon the lessons of history. Focussed towards practitioners.

Good starting point to risk management, although it can be read by an interested reader, you need to have advanced financial knowledge to fully grasp all its content, examples and situations presented.The book is naturally skewed to the financial industry , as this sector is spearheading such endeavor, nonetheless all the knowledge and takeaways can be adapted for non-financial companies.The books sets the building blocks of risk management (and sometimes goes way beyond that) as an improvement three should be more practical examples and the cases presented could have been more dissected (from a analytical perspective) to help you consolidate the theory presented.Good starting point for this fascinating subject.

Still studying from the two books, but first impressions are that they are a great resource. They are prescribed texts for a course in Risk Management under an MSc program in Insurance and Pension Management at a university in my country. George Silutongwe, Zambia.
