The Executive Guide to Bank Management Risk Management, Operations, IT and Leadership

This book, written by the CEO of a highly successful bank provides a succinct but complete guide to the critical issues in banking management - risk management; leadership; operational aspects, and technology, written for the busy executive.

Split into four distinct sections, the book begins with a comprehensive examination of risk management across the institution, focusing on balance sheet management, credit risk management, liquidity risk management, and Basel II issues. Section II examines leadership and how effective leadership can be used to improve a company's risk management and lead to success, even during crisis periods. Efficient operational management is one of the keys to a successful bank and this is dealt with in section III. Technology is a dual edged sword and can either create risks or allow improved risk management. Section IV deals with how technology can be best used to improve bank management. All these issues focus mainly on Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV banks. The book is strongly applied to the markets, particularly those where small and medium banks are prevalent.
