Review: The Essentials of Risk Management, Second Edition

The Essentials of Risk Management, Second Edition The Essentials of Risk Management, Second Edition by Michel Crouhy
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

Risk Management - Slightly more than the essentials

Good starting point to risk management. Although it can be read by an interested reader, you need to have advanced financial knowledge to fully grasp all its content, examples and situations presented.

The book is naturally skewed to the financial industry, as this sector is spearheading such endeavors, nonetheless all the knowledge and takeaways can be adapted for non-financial institutions.

The book sets the building blocks of Risk Management (and sometimes goes well beyond that). As an improvement suggestion, there should be more practical examples and the cases presented could have been more dissected from an analytical perspective to help the reader to consolidate the presented concepts and theory.
