The Basel Handbook (2nd edition)

[Amy Cole]

I enclose details of our best selling Basel II Handbook.   
   
Now in its second edition, this bestselling handbook has been fully updated and expanded in light of important changes to the new Basel II Accord such as: the asset classes required under Pillar 1, the new required elements for capital adequacy and the minimum capital requirements for securitization and operational risk, credit risk mitigation, supervisory review and market discipline.    
   
Through trial and error, the three pillars have evolved and some of the original ideas have proved to be impractical. This popular handbook methodically identifies the fundamental changes and recent additions to Basel II, such as increased flexibility, risk sensitivity and new OpRisk capital charge. It provides a clear rationale for the revised accord and even covers those elements that are still excluded such as liquidity risk, reputational risk and legal risk.

Aguais amongst many others.
