About this ebook
In this book, the reader will obtain the appropriate tools to manage the various risks to which a financial institution is exposed. Thus, he will get frameworks, standards, methodology, techniques and tools to be able to identify, evaluate, manage, monitor, communicate and follow up on the risks that could affect the institutions.
Comprehensive risk management should not be isolated in one risk area; on the contrary, it must be disseminated across all levels of the organization, allowing for better management. Having three lines of defense for proper management is a must. Permeating a risk culture is required so that people make decisions considering the risk. That employees know the risk appetite of the institutions is vital for that decision making.
Enterprise risk management in financial institutions provides us with these vital tools to enhance risk management in institutions, allowing their long-term development and improving the chances of meeting objectives. It provides a comprehensive view of the different risks that could affect organizations and presents specific tools to improve management.
