Managing Risks in Commercial and Retail Banking

Praise for Managing Risks in Commercial and Retail Banking

"This book presents a comprehensive picture of risk management practices and procedures in a compact form, and displays how risk management tools can be developed within the organization to suit a bank's own requirements. The author clearly articulates his views on typical risk management problems and issues with practical examples from the field. The book is unique; it provides input to set up bank-specific risk management architecture, and includes topics that are not usually found in risk management books."—Satya Pal Talwar, former Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India

"Risk management professionals are revisiting tools and techniques after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the unprecedented credit crisis the globe witnessed in its aftermath. Ghosh's book has gone beyond the concepts and principles to the shop floor of risk management. Being a former central banker, he has used his knowledge as an insider to deal with the practical aspects of risk management, which commercial bankers, auditors, and students will find quite useful." —Tamal Bandyopadhyay, Deputy Managing Editor, Mint

"This book synthesizes concepts, methodologies, and procedures, and makes available in one place the most practical aspects of risk management. The author, a former central banker and a commercial bank risk management consultant, combines his both-side experience to present in a simplified way the entire risk management process. The uniqueness lies in providing practical tips to identify, measure, monitor, and control risks, and in covering somewhat new but very relevant topics that are scarcely discussed." —Dr. B. Samal, former Chairman and Managing Director, Allahabad Bank, India, and former member, Securities Appellate Tribunal, Government of India
