Quantitative Enterprise Risk Management cover

This relevant, readable text integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches, connecting key mathematical tools to real-world challenges.

This book provides a coherent and readable introduction to quantitative and qualitative enterprise risk management. For risk professionals, undergraduates, and anyone preparing for ERM actuarial exams, it combines an in-depth presentation of key mathematical and statistical methods with abundant real-world cases, worked examples, and exercises.This well-balanced introduction to enterprise risk management integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches and motivates key mathematical and statistical methods with abundant real-world cases - both successes and failures. Worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises support readers in consolidating what they learn. The mathematical level, which is suitable for graduate and senior undergraduate students in quantitative programs, is pitched to give readers a solid understanding of the concepts and principles involved, without diving too deeply into more complex theory. To reveal the connections between different topics, and their relevance to the real world, the presentation has a coherent narrative flow, from risk governance, through risk identification, risk modelling, and risk mitigation, capped off with holistic topics - regulation, behavioural biases, and crisis management - that influence the whole structure of ERM. The result is a text and reference that is ideal for graduate and senior undergraduate students, risk managers in industry, and anyone preparing for ERM actuarial exams.

'Quantitative Enterprise Risk Management can be strongly recommended to anyone seeking to develop their skills in risk management. The book will be particularly useful for those seeking to master the more challenging technical aspects of risk management missing in other textbooks.' Andrew Cairns, Heriot-Watt University
'This hits the sweet spot between overly abstract mathematical and overly 'math lean' presentations of enterprise risk management.' Gary Hatfield, University of Minnesota
'Hardy and Saunders have written a masterpiece that not only explains [ERM] from a quantitative perspective, but also manages to bridge the gap between it and more qualitative approaches. It impressively covers the whole spectrum from risk taxonomy, risk modelling and measurement, risk mitigation, risk transfer up to (behavioural) risk, and crisis management. I highly recommend it to all those who want to get a deeper understanding of ERM.' Rudi Zagst, Technical University of Munich
