Banks and financial institutions sit at the centre of every modern economy — and managing them is, above all, the discipline of managing risk. Bank and Financial Institution Management is a complete course in how financial institutions earn their returns, what risks they take on in doing so, and how those risks are measured and controlled.
Across nine chapters, the book builds from first principles — why financial institutions exist at all, and why their failure is so costly — to the full professional toolkit: interest rate risk and the repricing and duration models, credit risk at the level of the individual loan and the portfolio, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk, capital adequacy, market and operational risk, and securitization. Examples are grounded in the Australian institutional setting, with US parallels drawn throughout, and every technique is developed through worked numerical examples rather than abstraction.
