Commercial bank management, 4th ed.

Abstract

managements. The work is largely based on the theme that management's role is to minimise banking risk (whether it be funding, operational, credit, interest rate and/or foreign exchange risk), while at the same time ensuring that the bank takes advantage of any opportunities. In this fourth edition, all chapters have been revised and expanded or updated. Throughout the book, reference is made to the recent Wallis Inquiry into the Australian Financial System and its implications for various elements of the banking system. Chapters 4 and 5 have been rewritten to explain the capital adequacy requirements set by the Reserve Bank of Australia (based on the Basle Convention) in relation to market risk.
