"Banks and Dunn have produced a clear, non-technical yet authoritative guide to risk management. Investment firms and banks will need to overhaul their practices in the light of the forthcoming revision of the Basel Capital Accord. Practical Risk Management will give senior managers the solid understanding of what risk management is all about, which will be very valuable to them as they oversee the changes required."
--- Sir Howard Davies Chairman, The Fnancial Services Authority, London

In today's increasingly complex financial world, financial institution CEOs often complain that they do not have a strategic frame for thinking about risk management and are too often overloaded with information that lacks useful synthesis to help them make useful judgments or decisionsabout risk. For them, this is a gem of a book and a must-read by two serious practitioners who have distilled the essence from the jargon of risk management for the Chief Executive. I highly recommend it."
