After the financial crisis, banks and insurance companies were forced to get to grips with the ecosystem that had led to huge, and endemic, losses. Attention on this issue has intensified due to the exposure of high-profile conduct issues such as the LIBOR scandal. Developing and instilling an effective and measurable risk culture has emerged as a key issue for senior management and the board. Boards and regulators must focus on how firms can assess risk culture and achieve the desired philosophy throughout an international organisation.

“The editor, Patricia Jackson, who has wide experience in the risk management field, has brought together an impressive array of authors to look at the nexus of factors which influence risk culture and at ways that an organisation can go about strengthening culture.”
Sir David Walker

Following the global financial crisis, the Comprehensive Capital Analysis Review – CCAR – has emerged in the US as the most dominant regulatory regime to face banks in recent years: banks must be able to prove to regulators that they have sufficient capital to weather a severe economic downturn.

CCAR and Beyond is the first authoritative reference guide to CCAR, providing a complete introduction and analysis of the regulation from origins to implementation. Read the introduction to this handbook here.

With extensive experience advising CCAR banks on modelling issues, Jing Zhang brings together a cross-section of views from those directly involved in the regulation and implementation of these assessments and stress tests. CCAR and Beyond clarifies the various methodologies and techniques to approaching CCAR assessments, providing unique insight into this seminal regulation.

Stress Testing: Approaches, Methods and Applications explores and clarifies the methodology, impetus and functions of stress testing within the context of the latest practices and regulations faced by banks and other financial institutions.

The authoritative guide and reference tool for stress testing, this book is essential for risk managers, regulators and consultants who want a clearer understanding of the methods, tools and uses of stress testing in different risk areas.
