Book SynopsisRisk management is vital to organisational success, from government down to small businesses, and the discipline has developed rapidly over the last decade. Learning lessons from the good and bad practice of others is a key feature of this book, which includes multiple illustrative examples of risk management practice, in addition to detailed case studies.Combining both theory and practice, the early chapters compare the ISO 31000 and COSO Enterprise Risk Management frameworks and the relevant regulatory regimes in both Europe and the United States. The core of the book is three highly detailed case studies of risk management in the manufacturing (Akzo Nobel), retail (Tesco), and public sectors (Birmingham City Council). Using the lessons learned from the case studies, together with material from elsewhere, the author then outlines four lessons for risk managers that can be used in any organisation seeking to develop a truly enterprise-wide risk management system.This Trade Review"The case studies set out in this book, based on sound research and set firmly within the context of the most up-to-date governance and standards frameworks, make a real contribution to the understanding of managing risk within organisations.

Book SynopsisThis book goes beyond traditional financial institutions textbooks, which tend to focus on mathematical models for risk management and the technical aspects of measuring and managing risk. It focuses on the role of financial institutions in promoting social and economic goals for the communities in which they operate for the greater good, while also meeting financial and competitive challenges, and managing risks. Cooperman divides the text into seven easily teachable modules that examine the real issues and challenges that managers of financial institutions face.

The updated edition also examines organizationsâ evolving use of digital business transformation and the effect on performance management design.With updated cases, the latest edition will help readers to gain insights into the fields of strategic management, organizational behaviour, organizational theory, and management accounting andTrade Review"An important aspect of corporate culture is a strong performance culture that recognises and rewards the right behaviour beyond achieving short-term financial goals. This must be underpinned by an effective performance measurement system. The focus on ESG and digitalisation of businesses also challenge the performance management systems of many companies. The new edition of Ralph W. Adler’s book provides a useful framework for approaching the design of a performance measurement system and is a timely reminder of the importance of an effective performance measurement system for a high-performing and ethical organisation."Mak Yuen Teen, PhD, FCPA (Aus), Professor (Practice) of Accounting, National University of Singapore"I love when a book not only contains all the relevant information but is written in a way that can be understood by many, not just elite academics. This is one such book. From what I have read, I would recommend this book for those studying, teaching, or working in the area of management accounting – with an emphasis on performance management. By critiquing and comparing respective early frameworks and providing a clear history of performance management, Adler has cleverly derived a new and original performance management framework. This conceptual model then informs the remainder of the new edition with the addition of ethical behaviours and digital business transformation. Providing detailed knowledge of prior research is essential to informing these new and improved ways of organizational structure and ensuring the capture of 21st-century innovations."Robyn Pilcher, PhD (USyd), MCom, BBus, FCPA, FIPA, CMA , Adjunct Associate Professor, Curtin University, Australia"This textbook does an excellent job of condensing and presenting in a manner understandable to students the multifarious field of performance management (management control).

Book SynopsisPeople are unwittingly taking risks with their investments by entrusting them to advisers who are biased but don't know it.Does your financial adviser tell you to hold on and never sell? That markets recover in the long run? Does your adviser seem to always have an optimistic disposition? Do they tell you not to worry, no matter what is going on in the outside world?In Bullshift, John J. De Goey explores the hidden relationship between bias and financial markets. He makes clear that investors and financial advisers are not the rational decision makers that economic theory assumes them to be, and that tried and true investment advice is not always sound. De Goey shows that advisers are immersed in a culture of Bullshift they simply don't realize how their positive outlook on markets is based on industry-wide groupthink.Unfortunately, this problem affects much more than just your own investment portfolio. After three years of an international Trade ReviewBullshift is a kick-in-the-head reality check for advisers and their clients about blindly following investing clichés. Read it and learn to question your basic understanding of investing. * Rob Carrick, Personal Finance Columnist, The Globe and Mail *Excessive optimism is the metabias that enables all others, as it tells us that ‘all is well’ and blinds us to our own fallibility. Bullshift recognizes the damaging potential of overconfidence for our financial lives and gives practical tips on how to overcome it. * Daniel Crosby, New York Times bestselling author of The Laws of Wealth *If you want to be money smart, read Bullshift. John's decades of experience, wisdom, and guidance will leave you richer. * Kelley Keehn, bestselling author of Talk Money to Me *There’s a large body of evidence that behavioural biases are a significant reason why so many investors fail to achieve their investment goals. Overconfidence is particularly deeply ingrained. We think — and are encouraged by the media and financial commentators to think — that we can do things that are beyond our sphere of competence. We’re all prone to overconfidence and optimism and we need to help each other in guarding against it. * Robin Powell, editor of The Evidence-Based Investor *Long a maverick in the Canadian financial advisor community, John J. De Goey's third book is an erudite exposition of how unwarranted optimism can be detrimental to the financial health of portfolios. * Jonathan Chevreau, founder of FindependenceHub.com *From broad behavioural errors to the specifics of Canadian markets, Bullshift offers new ways for financial advisors to evaluate their thinking and achieve better outcomes. It’s packed with useful insight on how to make more informed, rational decisions. * Dr. Cheryl Hurst, founder of PeopleGaps.com *De Goey provides investors with an entertaining overview of how our brains get in the way of maximizing our financial potential. Perhaps more importantly, he links these biases to what is happening in the world today around us and provides prescriptions on how to optimize our behaviour. * Preet Banerjee, founder of YourMoneyDegree.com *There’s a new kind of advisor coming to the forefront of wealth management. These days, advisers who are more focused on behaviour and decisions are winning business. Understanding what drives client attitudes is a winning proposition for keeping them focused on what’s important to their clients. * Charlie Spiring, ICD.D, Founder & Chairman, Wellington-Altus Financial Inc. *A truly wonderful read and an important book that will help so many people solve the puzzle that is understanding themselves, their money, and their behaviours. * Dennis Moseley-Williams, Founder of DMW strategic consulting *Table of Contents Introduction Part I: The Interplay Between Behavioural Economics, Financial Advisers, and Retail Investors 1 Understanding Advisers and the Industry 2 Behavioural Economics and Human Biases 3 The Role of Advisers 4 What Needs to Change? 5 Groupthink Among Advisers Part II: Applying What We Know to How the World Operates … and How It Ought To 6 Misguided and Human 7 Case Study on the Coronavirus 8 Case Studies in Financial Planning 9 How the Government Entrenches Bullshift 10 Guarding Against Bullshift Afterword: What Can Be Done About Bullshift?
