Book Description
'Controls, Procedures and Risk' covers the skills and procedures needed to enable the monitoring and managing of risk and the authors focus on procedures design, implementation and documentation. Considerable emphasis is also given to the key controls and the importance of control functions, audit and risk management groups and policy. Case studies are used to effectively demonstrate 'success' and 'failure'.
In the financial services industry risk is a constant threat to organizations of all sizes and to the markets themselves. Many industry 'events' have shown how dangerous it is when a business operates in an uncontrolled way, particularly when the lack of control was not evident to the management of the business until it was too late.
Controls, procedures and risk are occupying more and more management time. The responsibility to manage the risks lies with the whole operations team. If it is successful in fulfilling this role the overall risk of the business is reduced, if it is not successful the consequences may be severe.
In this book the author has deliberately focussed on the practical side of risk, controls and procedures, rather than analyse the Basel Capital Accord and the capital requirements etc.(however, the Accord and updates are contained in the Appendices). Operations teams need to be aware of risk but not overwhelmed by it.
Risk management within, and by, the operations function is the focus of this book. From day-to-day risk to wider risk implications the operations function is reviewed to show the sources and implications of risk situations.
The definitive series of professional references for those finance professionals concerned with "Back office" or operations management unique to this industry.Presents concise references on the essential management functions such as technology, client services, and risk management for financial operations management professionals.A comprehensive resource from a leading financial management consultant for global banks and institutions.

Essential reading for Quality & Engineering professionals.......1997-08-29
This book provides helpful information concerning productliability. The author does not intend for the book to take the placeof legal counsel, but rather to serve as a tool for executive decision making, detailing steps to take regarding quality and reliability.
As an attorney, I found this book to be well written and presented in nonlegal terms whenever possible. Where legal jargon is necessary, the author provides explanations and offers a small but useful glossary. Goodden includes several pertinent case examples, including a thorough discussion of simple steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of a liability claim.
Quality professionals and engineering executives will benefit from reading this book. Its strengths are the author's thorough review of the subject matter and his clear writing style.
I liked this book for its concise discussion of pertinent topics and the detailed case studies. I believe it would be a welcome addition to any engineering professional's library. It should be essential reading for design and manufacturing professionals, and it would also be valuable to business students, particularly at the graduate level.

Great intutive introduction to stochastic calculus.......2006-06-17
This book was such a relief after going through tens of books/lectures notes on stochastic calculus. Most math books give the theory behind Ito calculus (martingales, measure theory etc.), but fail to give the motivation and reasoning behind abstract definitions. This book does an excellent job in deriving many seemingly-complicated math formulas (or, theorems) using intuitive terms. It is an excellent read for people who have a reasonable background in probability theory, and are wishing to learn stochastic calculus (plus finance). I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the rudiments of Ito integral and see its applications in finance.
Great introduction to the Value at Risk measures.......2005-10-14
Got the friendly yellow paperback version. The book is in three major parts; Options, Time series and then Value at Risk.
The first section starts out well with an overview of Stochastic Processes and then moves on to Stochastic Integrals and Differential Equations. All of this is motivation to help with the pricing of Options, starting with European, then American and moving onto Exotics and Bond Options. It covers all the major points, though it is a little limited in the Exotics, it does have a good references to more thorough works.
The second section on time series works with ARIMA, ARCH and GARCH models.
The third section (labeled Selected Financial Applications) is mostly about the VAR though is has some really good commentary on the Volatility of Option Portfolios.
An added bonus is that you can download the PDF version of the book, and all the data for the examples from the web, with quite a neat one-time license.
I would recommend this book to people needing a good overview of the subjects listed above, and as a handy reference.
Book Description

The fourth edition of Professor Moorad Choudhry's benchmark reference text An Introduction to Value-at-Risk offers an accessible and reader-friendly look at the concept of VaR and its different estimation methods, and is aimed specifically at newcomers to the market or those unfamiliar with modern risk management practices. The author capitalises on his experience in the financial markets to present this concise yet in-depth coverage of VaR, set in the context of risk management as a whole.
Topics covered include:

- Variance-covariance methodology
- Monte Carlo simulation
- Portfolio VaR
- Credit risk and credit VaR
Topics are illustrated with Bloomberg screens, worked examples, exercises and case studies. Related issues such as statistics, volatility and correlation are also introduced as necessary background for students and practitioners. This is essential reading for all those who require an introduction to financial market risk management and value-at-risk.
