Risk assessment Books

Book SynopsisTake a holistic view of enterprise risk-adjusted return management in banking. This book recommends that a bank transform its siloed operating model into an agile enterprise model. It offers an event-driven, process-based, data-centric approach to help banks plan and implement an enterprise risk-adjusted return model (ERRM), keeping the focus on business events, processes, and a loosely coupled enterprise service architecture.Most banks suffer from a lack of good quality data for risk-adjusted return management. This book provides an enterprise data management methodology that improves data quality by defining and using data ontology and taxonomy. It extends the data narrative with an explanation of the characteristics of risk data, the usage of machine learning, and provides an enterprise knowledge management methodology for risk-return optimization. The book provides numerous examples for process automation, data analytics, event management, knowledge management, and improvemeTable of ContentsChapter-1 Commercial Banks, Banking Systems & Basel Recommendations1.1 Introduction 1.2 Financial markets 1.3 Commercial Bank - Lines of Business and Products 1.4 Source Systems 1.5 Evolution of Basel Risk Management Recommendations Chapter-2 Siloed Risk Management Systems 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Treasury’s Market Risk and Credit Risk Management 2.3 Credit Risk in the Loan Book 2.4 Asset Liability Management (ALM) 2.5 Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML-CFT). 2.6 Operational Risk Management (ORM) Chapter-3 Enterprise Risk adjusted Return (ERRM) Model, Gap Analysis & Identification 3.1 Introduction 3.2 What caused the Siloed Architecture?

Book SynopsisFor businesses to grow and be successful their approach to resilience must be defined by a holistic and risk-focused outlook, rather than one which is narrow and dominated by event-oriented continuity practices. The Organizational Resilience Handbook shows that success is as much to do with innovation and the speed with which new products are brought to market as it is with organizations having to deal with unexpected crisis situations. It comprehensively covers the full breadth and depth of the field and introduces related topics such as security, safety, e-commerce, emerging technologies and customer experience. Through adopting a strategic and progressive approach, practitioners can apply the book's methodology to develop an in-depth understanding of resilience within their own organization and use it to effectively engage with the board and senior management in developing strategies for achieving greater resilience capability. A range of high-profile case studies, such as Mercedes, the UK's National Health Service, Alibaba and BP, help to illustrate the concept of resilience by detailing characteristics and behaviours which confirm its meaning. The Organizational Resilience Handbook is a practical guide to self-assessment, benchmarking performance and implementing resilience frameworks in any organization.Trade Review"Graham Bell provides an interesting and comprehensive exploration of resilience and lays out the wide-ranging arguments on resilience which have happened over the years. It is important to be able to argue from several angles, and this handbook uses case studies to demonstrate the many and varied approaches that have been adopted in the pursuit of resilience." * Derek Mowbray, Organization Health Psychologist *"The book offers a detailed and thought provoking look at organizational resilience with a broad range of case studies and global insights. It places a focus on strategy and delivering commitments to stakeholders, the role of leadership in organizational resilience, the importance of continual learning and everything in between." * Janette Kirk-Willis, Positive Psychology and Resilience Coach, Founder of Positively Flourishing *"Provides a practical approach to using the information we gather to move from risk to resilience management. Organizations of any kind will benefit from the focus on transforming risk reviews and assessments into strategic hints. In these days of great change and external pressures, organizations will need a form of intelligent design applied to allow businesses to not only survive but excel. This book provides that." * Cosimo Pacciani, former COO of Algebris and former CRO of the European Stability Mechanism *"Managing the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us and is continuing to teach us many lessons about resilience. Not the least of these is that the responses have been widely varied in terms of the levels of preparedness displayed by different countries and the corporates and entities within them. It is also apparent that a much greater priority needs to be given to organizational resilience in the future, particularly as we face the challenges of climate change and other aspects of global instability that will continue to throw up shocks - predictable and unpredictable. 'The Organizational Resilience Handbook' therefore provides an invaluable and timely framework for assessing the resilience of an organization and to help its leaders enhance their preparedness in a way which is not threat-specific. Above all, it makes the point that any resilience strategy must be holistic and recognise the inter-dependencies that the organization faces." * Lord Toby Harris *"I commend this book to all resilience practitioners and professionals who interact with the C-Suite. Graham does a great job of outlining the many dimensions of resilience, over and above the ones we might traditionally (but erroneously) think of such as crisis management and business continuity. I found the case studies brought out many of the books arguments and finally believe that the resilience model is a great way to begin to measure something which historically has been viewed as somewhat intangible or at the very least one dimensional. This book certainly broadened my concepts and views of organisational resilience."" * Stuart Seymour, Director Global Cyber Security, Cyber Incident Response, Physical Security and Resilience at Centrica *Table of Contents Chapter - 00: Introduction; Chapter - 01: Contextual setting; Chapter - 02: Definitions and references; Chapter - 03: Reasoning and benefits; Chapter - 04: Case studies; Chapter - 05: The Organizational Resilience Capability Model® (ORCM); Chapter - 06: Assessment and reporting; Chapter - 07: Other key issues and ideas; Chapter - 08: Application and implementation

Book SynopsisIn the next wave of conduct regulation in financial markets, from 2021 conduct regulators in the UK and elsewhere expect firms to produce evidence on how they are improving behaviour and culture. Facing this, many practitioners are anxious that their current reporting and management information (MI) are irrelevant to meeting as-yet unclear regulatory expectations. This book provides the insights and tools firms need to report on culture, securing both enhanced business value and the regulator's approval. Culture is now seen as a key contributor to good governance, feeding into existing discourse on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and the emerging dialogue on 'non-financial (mis)conduct', but conventional measures of business quality are unfit for the new reporting agenda. Culture Audit in Financial Services follows the arc of 'behavioural regulation' to examine what the regulator really wants, before offering guidance on how culture audit differs from conventional auditing, how to put the latest pure-research findings to work, and the key features of well-designed conduct and culture reports. Written by an impartial author and a variety of contributors with extensive experience working with practitioners, regulators, and many of the world's finest academic initiatives, this book is filled with practical, grounded advice on how best to approach this new challenge and avoid infractions.Trade Review"A highly useful travelogue written by acclaimed experts in an easy-going manner that nevertheless serves to deepen awareness and understanding. After a survey of concepts and how conduct regulation is evolving, Culture Audit opens a window on using behavioural science to frame 'better questions' and introduces straightforwardly the benefits of some advanced technology. These elements weave together to explain where thought leadership has been and points to areas for further exploration like purpose, individual character development and the excitement that awaits firms who are not quite prepared for their first earnest discussion of culture with a regulator." * Ted MacDonald, Technical Specialist, Wholesale Banking Supervision, UK Financial Conduct Authority *"Roger Miles has brought together a stellar group of experts in conduct risk and fashioned a unique resource for the financial services industry and beyond. The authors and Dr Miles himself have been there, done that and have the t-shirt when it comes to conduct risk management. Oozing with practical wisdom, this book brings concepts from psychology and behavioural science to a financial services audience, to help address the seemingly intractable challenge of workplace misconduct. Culture change programmes fail at least as often as they succeed, but Culture Audit contains many insights that will enhance the chances of success. As a business school professor teaching post-experience, post-graduate programs, I'm often looking for material that is evidence-based but accessible; that avoids bland motherhood statements and excites interests; that presents solutions that are seen as feasible and not utopian. This book has all those qualities and I expect it will help the industry chart a new course, consistent with its recent aspirations. A must-have for financial services leaders and regulators, and those who aspire to such roles." * Elizabeth Sheedy, Professor of Risk Governance, Macquarie University *"Culture Audit fills a welcome gap between procedural "how to" manuals which can be dull and conceptually empty, and academic research, which is often brilliant but difficult to translate into real organizational programs and initiatives. This book takes many of the best ideas out there from behavioral science, then sets them within a framework with action points making it genuinely useful for practitioners. The lively writing and provocative examples really help overcome the difficulty of making culture a practical consideration for companies without losing important nuances. This work deserves to make a big positive impact." * Alison Taylor, Executive Director, Ethical Systems; Professor, NYU Stern School of Business *"Just what the finance industry wants, and more importantly, what it needs. A definitive "How to" guide to understanding your firm's culture, its strengths and weaknesses, and, most importantly, how to systematically and thoroughly set about improving it throughout your workforce and firm. Packed with helpful real-life anecdotes from finance experts, academics' and regulators' perspectives, helpful history, insightful psychology, and pithy "sidebars" which neatly illustrate key points. A clear-sighted, up-to-the-minute view on progress made and what's left to do. This will long be seen as the magnum opus on this critical topic - and it is compelling reading at that. If the industry follows even half of the good advice here it will be in a much better place a few years from now." * Sean Carney, COO/CFO, Telemos Capital *"I really like the multiple-author approach, and what a list of co-authors! There's huge value in just being able to read insights from this remarkable group of people all in one place. Their different perspectives throughout, and their evident sense of fun, make Culture Audit really engaging and thought-provoking. A set of 'Interlude' stories also brings the theory to life, such as the hugely enjoyable account of how a central bank supervisor went on to 'rebrand' an investment bank's compliance department as behaviour-aware - a mindset shift that would benefit many firms. Culture Audit's view of the genesis of conduct regulation, and robust predictions for its future, ground our understanding of why it's now so vital for firms to focus on culture and behaviour. The book is always engaging - it's as if the reader is enjoying a chat with the authors - and thankfully avoids getting bogged down in regulatory small print. With so much still to be done to improve financial sector culture, here's a book which really will spark timely conversations in firms: importantly around purpose, psychological safety, diversity and inclusion. These are vital foundations for any firm to set out, then act on to start a lasting culture change. Culture Audit jump-starts these conversations in a friendly, understandable way. It's a great addition to the discourse." * Olivia Fahy, Head of Culture, TCC Group; Culture Team lead - Supervision, UK Financial Conduct Authority 2016-21 *"This masterful book gives the reader an easy lens to get familiar with the latest thought and regulatory agenda for supervising financial firms' conduct and culture. Following to the global financial crash and numerous scandals such as LIBOR rigging and mis-selling, we have seen a shift from a consumer protection regime based on disclosure, towards a new focus on the root cause of misconduct: firms' culture. Culture Audit answers many questions that will be on the minds of firms' executives and compliance professionals, as well as regulators. Uniquely, this book addresses head-on the controversial topic of how people opt for different roles at different career stages, moving between regulatory agencies and commercial roles. This brings a fresh perspective so we can reflect in a new way on how regulators and firms interact. A summary condensed from years of research, empirical experience, hundreds of real life talks and sharing by firms' executives, this book is a joy to read, for its clear setting out of theory and its practical action points. Dr Miles is a fascinating guide as he unlocks a door to the secrets of human minds, group dynamics and applying behavioural science to financial services. With an impressive group of colleagues, he addresses the big questions: What is culture and conduct? Why do regulators care about culture and conduct, as opposed to codified laws and regulations?, and more importantly: What shall we (the firms) do in response to the call? Arguing for a clear difference between conventional audit and culture assessment, it rightly also questions even whether the term culture audit is broad enough to yield the "better questions" that firms now need to ask themselves." * Davis Tsui, JD, CPA, Insurance Conduct Supervisor, Hong Kong Insurance Authority; former Treasury Markets Association Secretariat, Hong Kong Monetary Authority *"An all-round excellent reading experience: crisply written, with sharp graphics and pithy fact boxes. Culture Audit is packed with clear, current and bright insight - which is no less than we'd expect from the world-leading practitioner experts behind it. Even more impressively, they address it all in a way that's engaging, easily readable and (who'd have expected this?) frequently entertaining. Every regulated finance professional with any leadership responsibilities should read this book." * Robert Ellison, Co-Founder, Finance Unlocked *"So many books have only one idea; this one has so many from Roger Miles and his co-authors. A broadly useful book with all kinds of lessons for all kinds of practitioners. As well as efficiently tapping into key high-level research findings, readers will discover how in practice to match culture and conduct principles with the needs to their organisation's stakeholders - including regulators of course. The UK and international context is thoroughly current and well evidenced with real life examples, a full glossary and plentiful references. Everything you need is in one place. A thoroughly worthwhile read!" * Bryan Foss, serial iNED; Council member, Financial Reporting Council; Co-Founder, The Risk Coalition *"What a timely book! Plenty here to interest financial services regulation practitioners. It seems extraordinary that we are still talking about culture, more than twelve years after the global financial crisis exposed such huge problems in financial institutions. With great clarity, the authors have explained why these problems persist and if this book can help to improve culture then they've done a fine job. Culture Audit contains a wealth of knowledge including a topical chapter on the behavioural science techniques that supervisors have adapted in recent years. A vast amount of research and analysis from leading industry thinkers has clearly gone on behind the scenes to enlighten the reader, yet the authors keep the tone straight-talking, lucidly unpacking complex and technical topics without compromising the quality of the analysis. For those whose interest is piqued, a list of further reading is provided in the appendix and there's a properly helpful glossary. Culture Audit is very likely to achieve its aim of starting a wider conversation about conduct and culture across the regulated financial sector and beyond." * Alexander Robson, Managing Editor, Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence *"It isn't very often that I would recommend to my book club what appears from the title to be an academic read - but this one breaks the mould. The team of writers has delivered an insightful and practical book that manages to be both strategic and operational, as needed, besides often letting the reader pause to reflect and consider how this all supports their own personal development. The 'story' interludes bring the chapters together in that really useful, involving way that storytelling has, of leading the reader towards understanding and applying the concepts in real life. A thoroughly worthwhile read." * Ann McFadyen, Director, UK Finance *Table of Contents Chapter - 01: A culture quest for ‘better behaviour; Chapter - 02: ‘How regulators’ ‘behavioural approach’ went global – with culture its latest focus; Chapter - 03: ‘The house is on fire - How regulators own research has pointed to ‘culture reset’; Chapter - 04: What’s the big idea?

Book SynopsisRisk management deals with prevention, decision-making, action taking, crisis management and recovery, taking into account the consequences of unexpected events. The authors of this book are interested in ecological processes, human behavior, as well as the control and management of life-critical systems, which are potentially highly automated. Three main attributes define life-critical systems, i.e. safety, efficiency and comfort. They typically lead to complex and time-critical issues and can belong to domains such as transportation (trains, cars, aircraft), energy (nuclear, chemical engineering), health, telecommunications, manufacturing and services. The topics covered relate to risk management principles, methods and tools, and reliability assessment: human errors as well as system failures, socio-organizational issues of crisis occurrence and management, co-operative work including human−machine cooperation and CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work): task and function allocation, authority sharing, interactivity, situation awareness, networking and management evolution and lessons learned from Human-Centered Design.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Book SynopsisRisks are increasingly regulated by international standards, and scientists play a key role in standardization. This fascinating book exposes the action of 'invisible colleges' of scientists loose groups of prominent scientific experts who combine practical experience of risk and control with advisory responsibility in the formulation of international standards. Drawing upon the domains of medicines, 'novel foods' and food hygiene, David Demortain investigates new regulatory concepts emerging from invisible colleges, highlighting how they shape consensus and pave the way for international standards. He explores the relationship between science and regulation from theoretic and historic perspectives, and illustrates how scientific experts integrate regulatory actors in commonly agreed modes of control and structures of regulatory responsibilities. Sociological and political implications are also discussed.Using innovative methodologies and an extensive insight into food and pharmaceutical regulation, this book will provide a much-needed reference tool for scholars and students in a range of fields encompassing science and technology studies, public policy, risk and environmental regulation, and transnational governance. Contents: 1. Risk Regulation From Controversies to Common Concepts 2. Communities, Networks and Colleges: Expert Collectives in Transnational Regulation 3.

Book SynopsisSimon Erb analysiert relevante Business-Continuity-Risiken, die entstehen, wenn Unternehmen kritische IT-Systeme an unabhängige Provider auslagern, und arbeitet mögliche risikomindernde Maßnahmen systematisch auf. Anhand von Fallstudien bei funf großen schweizer Unternehmen zeigt er auf, welche Maßnahmen diese Unternehmen tatsächlich umsetzen und welche Faktoren die Assimilation von BCM in Outsourcing-Beziehungen positiv beeinflussen. Mit Business Continuity Management stellen Unternehmen sicher, dass kritische Geschäftsprozesse beim Eintritt von schwerwiegenden Ereignissen fortgeführt werden können. Outsourcing führt dazu, dass nicht mehr alle Business-Continuity-Risiken direkt durch das auslagernde Unternehmen gesteuert werden können. Deshalb müssen diese Risiken gesondert berücksichtigt werden.Table of ContentsBusiness-Continuity-Risiken in ausgelagerten IT-Systemen.- BCM-Framework für ausgelagerte IT-Systeme.- Theorien zur Assimilation.- Resource Dependence Theory.- Institutioneller Isomorphismus.- High Reliability Theory.- Normal Accident Theory.

Book SynopsisChristian Hugo Hoffmann undermines the citadel of risk assessment and management, arguing that classical probability theory is not an adequate foundation for modeling systemic and extreme risk in complex financial systems. He proposes a new class of models which focus on the knowledge dimension by precisely describing market participants’ own positions and their propensity to react to outside changes. The author closes his thesis by a synthetical reflection on methods and elaborates on the meaning of decision-making competency in a risk management context in banking. By choosing this poly-dimensional approach, the purpose of his work is to explore shortcomings of risk management approaches of financial institutions and to point out how they might be overcome.

Book SynopsisDas Buch vermittelt eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung des Risikomanagements und der organisationalen Resilienz anhand der Methode des Storytellings. Die Themen Risikomanagement, Krisenmanagement und Fehlermanagement werden von Unternehmen häufig unabhängig voneinander umgesetzt. Studien zur organisationalen Resilienz zeigen jedoch, dass eine Vernetzung aller drei Bereiche im Unternehmen der Schlüssel zum Erfolg sein kann.Diese Vernetzung gelingt am besten durch die Methode des Storytellings. Dabei werden Geschichten im Unternehmen strategisch genutzt, um fachlich relevante Informationen oder Prozessziele zu verdeutlichen oder Lösungswege aufzuzeigen. Damit können zum einen Traditionen, Werte und Unternehmenskultur vermittelt werden, aber auch durch die Arbeit mit Metaphern verborgene Konflikte aufgelöst werden. Denn Geschichten öffnen uns die Augen, verändern unsere Perspektive und dienen als praktische Handlungshilfen. Die Autoren beschreiben anschaulich und anhand von praxisorientierten Beispiel-Geschichten die Methode des Storytellings im Risiko-, Krisen- und Fehlermanagement und geben Tipps für die Entwicklung einer eigenen Geschichten-Datenbank.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Skills. - Capture.- Share.- Generate.- Storytelling-Toolbox.

Book SynopsisGlobal warming will surpass 1.5êC above pre-industrial levels during the next decade, due to greenhouse gas emissions. The constant rise in temperatures and related impacts combine with other pressures, thus increasing risk and undermining resilience. The increasing interconnectedness of people and human systems increases the risk of compound and cascading crises. The maps in this report highlight a number of these resilience deficits that are holding back achievement of key sustainable development goals. At the same time, the report's action case examples show that this is not inevitable, and how action is possible on every continent to stop the worsening spiral of risk and disasters and to accelerate SDG target achievement. Addressing resilience gaps will require the unprecedented scaling-up of resilience investment and adaptation action both from within the public and private sectors, particularly for the most vulnerable countries. As these investments take time to mobilize and prepare, delay will increase the inevitable costs. Action is needed now. Disaster risk reduction sits at the nexus between development, humanitarian and climate change action, and can help foster more-sustainable resilient action in each. Readjusting development pathways requires a re-examination of how prosperity is measured, and a greater emphasis on resilience as key element of sustainable development today and in the future

Book SynopsisSince the mid-1990s risk management has undergone a dramatic expansion in its reach and significance, being transformed from an aspect of management control to become a benchmark of good governance for banks, hospitals, schools, charities, and many other organizations. Numerous standards for risk management practice have been produced by a variety of transnational organizations. While these many designs and blueprints are accompanied by ideals of enterprise, value production, and good governance, it is argued that the rise of risk management has also coincided with an intensification of auditing and control processes. The legalization and bureacratization of organizational life has increased because risk management has created new demands for proof and evidence of action. In turn, these demands have generated new risks to reputation. In short, this important book traces the rise of the managerial concept of risk and the different logics and values which underpin it, showing that it hasTrade ReviewPower's book is illuminating and bringing in the foreground a highly relevant topic for today businesses and society. As a preliminary exploration of the ideas embodied by risk management understood as risk governance, the book is really worth reading even if we will be missing the flavor of field studies, because Power's aim was so broad and ideational. Anyway, this book may help debunk many ideas about risk and risk management, written by a talented management accountant and philosopher. * Laurent Magne, Society and Business Review *...getAbstract recommends this informed and informative analysis to risk management professionals and professors who will appreciate Powers depth of knowledge. * getAbsract *Table of Contents1.
