Besides, the book provides practical tips to set up an effective operational risk and control framework. There is not a single aspect of operational risk that is left in the shade – everything is brought to light – even the trickiest aspects such as Risk Appetite. This book is a must-read for any all-around OpRisk Manager!» —Dr. Bertrand K.
