The
phenomenon of risk is not new but is so much more demonstrably
powerful today. As a result, the managers of financial
institutions, indeed anyone in a senior position, must contribute
to the overall duty of a firm to manage its risks. Executive
managers must have a firm grasp of the businesses for which they
are responsible. They should set in place a structure of control
processes which looks critically at risk sources and addresses them
effectively. This book aims to present a guide to the sources from
which risks may emerge and to explore effective strategies to face
and overcome business risks. The objective of the book is to
prepare the reader to sit and pass the CISI examination in Risk in
Financial Services.
Risk manifests itself in several differing ways
and one of the basic steps for firms to take is to understand the
nature of different types of risks, their sources, the events which
can occur and the resultant impacts. The modern financial world and
its variety of products can be broken down into a long list of
separate risk types but fundamentally these may be regarded as
falling into three general sectors - credit risk, market risk and
operational risk.
Managing risk is therefore an essential
skill (and responsibility) of those who run all financial
institutions. Those who do manage risk well will benefit from
significant rewards and those which do not may well see their
businesses fail completely.
Risk in Financial Services can be taken as a
stand-alone qualification, or it can be taken with either Unit 1
FSA Financial Regulation or Unit 6 Principles of Financial
Regulation to obtain the Certificate in Risk in Financial
Services.
