Published by the Research Foundation of the CFA Institute in July 2011, this monograph challenges the conventional wisdom that “risk management” is or ever should be delegated to a separate department. Good managers have always known that managing risk is central to a financial firm and must be the responsibility of anyone who contributes to the profit of the firm.
This book serves as a guide to risk management for financial firms and managers. Without the technical sections of the Wiley book above, it focuses on how to think about risk while minimizing the technical content.

I have found recently that there are far more many ARM CHAIR experts when I have conducted my seminars. In order to tackle the issues of 2014 & beyond there needs to be an open mind together with the elimination of any paradigms that would otherwise hinder ongoing progress. Too Many people are looking for the quick solutions at a reduced cost, when a simple benchmark of performance mapped against industry best practices will suffice as an initial step towards better risk management practices.
Something to ponder . . . . .
