Download or read book Non Knowledge Risk and Bank Company Management written by Vincenzo Formisano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current economic scenario, the intangible assets contribute significantly to the construction of the competitive positioning of a company. It follows that this intangible information must be appropriately considered in the internal rating system (IRSs). Currently key aspects of business risk and operational risk such as potential for growth, competitive capabilities, core competencies, role in the supply chain of membership, and governance are being considered as secondary in this system. Intangible factors such as the milieu of the company and the environment in which it operates, are not being appropriately considered. In this book, Vincenzo Formisano proposes new guidelines aimed to set desirable IRSs in which the weight of intangible assets is appropriately and properly valued. He addresses practical rules for achieving a rating system capable of understanding and enhancing the intangible assets of a company and for the assessment of creditworthiness. The first part of the book focuses on existing practices; the second part exposes a general model for the classification and interpretation of intangibles. The third part provides practical guidelines designed to configure desirable rating models in which the weight of intangible assets is correctly considered. This book offers theoretical and practical insights and an easy-to-read approach which provides a valuable source of information for teachers and students in Finance. It is also a useful reference point for the Banking, Accounting and Finance managerial communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banking today has become unduly complex because new forms of risk such as technological, compliance and reputational risks are evolving and growing. They amplify the fundamental risks inherent in any bank – those of credit, market, operational and liquidity. While established concepts and principles of risk management flourish, new prescribed practices such as those of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision continually unfold over the years. All in all, the discipline can appear complicated to many. Fortunately, there is universal consensus as to what constitutes sound risk management applicable to banks everywhere. Bank regulators and banks themselves are urging that staff, at all levels, should be aware of, and have a working knowledge of, risk management. This book brings together, in a comprehensive package, the essential elements of bank risk management, current practices and contemporary topics such as Basel IV and cyber-attack risk. It offers international cases and examples that are useful to remember. The book concludes with an epilogue on the future of risk management and an 11-page glossary. It will benefit anyone who seeks an overview and basic understanding of risk management in banking. Knowledge gained from this book will also help to give the reader insights into overall bank management.

This book was released on 2010-05-09 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clear understanding of what we know, don't know, and can't know should guide any reasonable approach to managing financial risk, yet the most widely used measure in finance today--Value at Risk, or VaR--reduces these risks to a single number, creating a false sense of security among risk managers, executives, and regulators. This book introduces a more realistic and holistic framework called KuU --the K nown, the u nknown, and the U nknowable--that enables one to conceptualize the different kinds of financial risks and design effective strategies for managing them. Bringing together contributions by leaders in finance and economics, this book pushes toward robustifying policies, portfolios, contracts, and organizations to a wide variety of KuU risks. Along the way, the strengths and limitations of "quantitative" risk management are revealed. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Ashok Bardhan, Dan Borge, Charles N. Bralver, Riccardo Colacito, Robert H. Edelstein, Robert F. Engle, Charles A. E. Goodhart, Clive W. J. Granger, Paul R. Kleindorfer, Donald L. Kohn, Howard Kunreuther, Andrew Kuritzkes, Robert H.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you grasp true reality beyond borrowers' financial statements in order to prevent repeated losses... while maintaining your viewpoint without the organizational squabbles or subservience that are frequently required to carry out your views? You rely on data, but data ahead of a deep worldview is putting the horse before the cart. One needs to first enhance his/her cognition to grasp the way the world works without relying on data, or else the data is often misleading. Also, the fundamental tools of risk evaluation are often wrongly understood. In this book, we will travel from a 35,000-foot view to the last few feet. We will not lose sight of the fact that it is the inner transformation & realization of knowledge that matters more than the awareness of the knowledge per se.

Step 3. Portfolio: Harness it Entirely to Vanquish Blindspots Forever: Develop tools for molecular decomposition of the entire portfolio & form the basis for an ultra-fast, comprehensive, & continuous stress-based full portfolio review as opposed to limited sample-based reviews.
