Simple Tools And Techniques For Enterprise Risk Management

"Risk Management is such a broad subject and varies depending on the organization and the industry. Many standards and guidelines around the world try to encapsulate risk into one set of parameters but typically suffer as they are from one particular perspective. Robert Chapman however does not conform to this single minded approach and provides us with a mixture of current risk management issues, techniques and case studies to provide a broad and yet still comprehensive view on risk management that is relevant to any industry sector. As such, there is something here for everyone who is in the risk management field and should be a mandatory addition to any risk manager's bookshelf."
-Clayton Meteyard, Manager - Risk and Insurance, Etihad Rail, UAE"This valuable text provides both the student and the practitioner with comprehensive coverage of the key elements which must be considered in respect of Risk Management."
-Dr Alistair Somerville Ford FTS, Chairman - Institute of Commercial Management, UK"The global financial crisis and in particular the demise of high profile companies has emphasised like never before the need for effective Enterprise Risk Management. This significantly expanded text will enable the reader, whether student, risk practitioner, auditor or board member to understand both the sources of risk and a process for implementing ERM. The clear and concise style of writing will provide a useful reference in navigating the ever expanding maze of business risk."
-Steve Wilmot, Risk Manager - Leighton Contractors PTY Limited, Australia"In today's highly volatile risk reality where ERM is the future of risk management, Chapman's book provides an in-depth insight into ERM. By combining theoretical and practical ERM knowledge from both a strategic and an operational angle, Chapman creates a valuable source of references for risk practitioners. While imminent risk issues are addressed, the book discusses how these risks can be managed most effectively across the entire organisation. The book aims to introduce risk professionals to key ERM aspects, and that's exactly what it does."
-Joanna Keith, Risk Management, JP Morgan, UK"Rob Chapman's book is modest in its title, yet is, at its heart, one of the best guides on how to 'do' Enterprise Risk Management, currently in print. Now completely revised to recognise the development of ISO31000 (the International Risk Management standard) and recent changes in governance and business ethics, this very accessible text is a must for anyone implementing ERM, irrespective of their business sector, country or background."
