The financial industry landscape has evolved significantly in a few short years and has been marked most recently by an acute global credit crisis, rapid regulatory changes and increased government intervention. Against this backdrop, risk and capital management have moved to the forefront of virtually every corporate agenda. Customers, shareholders, and regulators are demanding that institutions enhance risk management processes and techniques that balance risk and reward.
