With over 30 years' experience of risk management in banks, Mark Laycock provides a comprehensive but succinct non-technical overview of risk and its governance in financial institutions. Bridging the gap between texts on governance and the increasingly technical aspects of risk management the book covers the main risk types experienced by banks - credit, market, operational and liquidity - outlines those risks before considering them from a governance perspective including the Board and Executive Management.
