Reviews

'At CIMA, we believe that case studies are excellent ways of sharing knowledge and practical insights so this book will make a valuable addition to any manager’s bookshelf.'Charles Tilley, Chief Executive, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)'Our students and members are always asking for more real life examples and they now have an excellent additional resource to draw upon.'Steve Fowler, Chief Executive Officer, The Institute of Risk Management (IRM)'This book fills a significant gap amongst textbooks on risk management. It is particularly valuable with its integration of corporate governance issues and focus on non-financial institutions in the private sector as well as the public sector. A very worthy addition to the existing literature.'Andreas Krause, University of Bath, UK
