Two "virtuosos of risk management" show you how to close up the holes in your gap defenses—before the regulators call! Bankers Monthly dubbed them "virtuosos of risk management…[who have] raised A/L management to an art." And this hands-on approach to asset/liability management from Bitner and Goddard is exactly what you'd expect from such banking leaders.
