The Casualty Actuarial Society presents a process for ERM. The primary purpose of the report is to consider the role of actuaries in risk management, but it gives a useful general overview too. It includes a risk classification meant for general use, rather than limited to a specific industry. The report is available from the CAS site at http://casact.org/research/erm/.

A book in the ExpressExec series. It gives a brief overview of several
aspects of risk management, rather less biased towards banking than many other books (and also much shorter). It covers a somewhat eclectic range of topics, and has a useful list of resources. Visit
its page at Amazon.

Edited by James Pickford, this book is a collection of chapters by different authors that first appeared
as a series in the Financial Times. The chapters vary in quality, but most are useful to some degree. Some chapters in the book tend to assume a banking background. There are five chapters on operational risk, somewhat less banking oriented than many of the other chapters. It has a useful overview chapter on credit risk, Lenders and borrowers demand a creditable system by Suresh M. Sundaresan. There is a useful chapter on enterprise risk management, Total strategies for company-wide risk control by Lisa Meulbroek. Visit the page for this book on Amazon.

One of the reasons that operational risk is a hot topic nowadays is that the Basel 2 agreement will include capital requirements for operational risk for banks. The Basel committee have produced this paper, available from their site at http://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs91.htm.

This is a major tome, giving “20 Firmwide Best Practice Strategies”. Hoffman’s background is in banking, and the book certainly concentrates on that industry. He does make an effort to
extend the range, though. This is an extremely comprehensive book, a bit difficult to make one’s way through at times. It contains many lists of key points, which are made slightly less useful because each
list is so long. Visit the page for this book at Amazon.
