    Description of Financial Risk and the Corporate Treasury

    This book shows how financial risk management can be structured and controlled to meet the goals of corporations. A team of 18 respected academics, treasurers, bankers and consultants present their answers to key questions, including:

    - How can you quantify the financial exposures underlying your business?
    - Professor René Stulz and Rohan Williamson of the Ohio State University explain and compare the full range of methodologies available - from simple pro forma analysis to historical and regression analysis and new stimulation techniques- including extended examples of estimating foreign exchange exposures.

    Clear explanations of key concepts such as:
    - The Modigliani - Miller theorem and risk management
    - Benchmarking and performance evaluation
    - Duration, convexity and dollar risk - and duration matching
    - Corporate value-at-risk versus banking value-at-risk
    - Risk management and the equity holders benchmark

    Special worked examples illustrate the ideas presented in the main text, including:
    - Monte Carlo simulation of financial exposures
    - Determining the expected return of currency positions: a case study
    - Value-at-risk and benchmarking
    - Regression analysis
    - Hedge accounting: a series of applied examples
