    Description of The Financial Risk Manual

    There is nothing wrong with risk. It is the life blood of business and the test of entrepreneurs and managers. What matters is how you handle risk and the culture in which you operate. This user-friendly book is the definitive manual for systematically identifying and eliminating risk. It covers all the major financial functions, instruments and transactions and, for every principal risk, systematically provides instant, need to know information on:
    • the financial context or transaction
    • the relevant product - its nature and use
    • the benefits - to both parties in any transaction
    • the risks avoided - by each party
    • actions and key terms
