Handbook description

This subject teaches the fundamental risks in modern financial institutions. The science and practice of risk measurement and management of financial institutions has developed in complexity as the environment has become increasingly globalised and deregulated. The subject introduces modern techniques, which are necessary to those entering any role in the finance industry. Case studies are interposed among principles of the risks of asset liability management.
