‘Paul Sweeting’s book is an impressively comprehensive exploration of all aspects of enterprise-wide financial risk management and now with welcome updates for recent developments in AI, technology and risk management. It's a thorough examination of different risk management models with detailed consideration of different risks and their statistical analysis. The expansion of the section on case studies is particularly welcome, as it brings to life many of the theoretical concepts explored in this excellent book. Highly recommended for all those involved in risk management across financial institutions and an essential resource for anyone interested in financial risk management.’
