Excellent narration

this is written for an audience with genuine interest risk management primarily focused on financial firms. Well written, especially for those with some working knowledge of the subject. While not a textbook, it has gotten large and may not be the best choice for a curious first timer.

Good and Realistic!!!

A wonderful overview of financial risk management. I am not a financial analyst, but I can appreciate the clearly described systems put in place to adjust for risk. The book certainly gives a greater appreciation of what financial analysts are considering when they look at a company's balance sheet.

Better

This book really helped get me set up with a solid basis- more complete and easier to digest- than anything else out there. I work in a big financial company, too, and this helped shed light on how the concepts fit together. Too bad my management didn't know it before the crisis!

Soiled method

This is a solid method. However, due to the detail and amount of effort to maintain and create the documentation, I wonder how many companies have deployed this methodology with success?
