Research and Markets: Risk Management Becomes Hot Topic in the Financial Industry following Introduction of Basel II.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c21406) has announced the addition of Integrated Risk Management to their offering.

In the wake of the new capital adequacy framework by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel II), risk management is a particularly hot topic in the financial industry.

Moreover, to build an integrated risk control solution on firm foundations, the report begins by covering the foundations of risk management, including mathematical tools and systems methodology. Presented in an easy to follow manner, Integrated Risk Management is written in a straightforward way requiring no previous experience in maths or analytics. The aim is to assist and improve the reader's understanding about what it takes to be in charge of risk.

While other books published so far take a parochial approach to risk control, for instance towards credit risk or market risk only, Integrated Risk Management has adopted an integrated approach towards the three crucial areas: credit risk; market risk; and, operational risk.
