Value Added Risk Management in Financial Institutions: Leveraging Basel II & Risk Adjusted Performance Measurement

A new perspective on risk management Risk management has evolved to address the more strategic issue of optimization of return on risk.

Adding Value Through Risk Management aims to describe these techniques, illustrate their application, and discuss their strategic value for financial institutions.
