The Handbook of Corporate Financial Risk Management

The economic environment left exposed in the wake of the financial crisis of 2007-2012 has revealed a vast amount of risk-related problems and new case studies in waiting. Due to the increasing amount of new regulations which were imposed in order to contend with the results of the crisis, companies have amped up their scrutiny of risk management, becoming far more conservative. Thus corporate risk management has become even more important than it was before, with the result being that people in the industry are looking for new solutions to new problems. The job of the corporate risk management department is to identify potential sources of trouble, analyse them, and take the necessary steps to prevent losses. This is the fundamental mission that The Handbook of Corporate Financial Risk Management by Stanley Myint and Fabrice Famery keeps in mind, with each section of the Handbook containing a series of real-life case studies. The book is organised intuitively, so the reader is able to approach the book section by section chronologically, or by whichever case study is most pertinent to their situation.
