I don't suppose there are any used copies of Professional Risk Managers' Handbook - 2015 Edition for sale? Strangely, I can't seem to find this book used. I found the exact edition listed on Google books but there is no ebook available for this. It is not even for sale when I attempted to get print. The Professional risk Managers' Handbook has 4 ratings and 1 review.

Description

Professional's Handbook of Financial Risk Management is a major reference work in finance. A complete practical reference book covering all aspects of financial risk management including an in-depth look at operational risk management, regulation, risk-based capital, and risk adjusted performance measurement. The book focuses on practical financial risk management techniques and solutions, and is designed to guide the risk professional step-by-step through the implementation of a firm-wide risk management framework.

This book covers the various roles of the risk management function. Rather than describing every possible role in exhaustive detail, the authors have provided a story line for each of the discussed topics, including practical issues that a risk manager needs to consider when tackling the subject, possible solutions to difficulties that might be encountered, background knowledge that is essential to know, and more intricate practices and techniques that are being used.

By providing these fundamentals, the novice risk professional can gain a thorough understanding of the topic in question while the more experienced professional can use some of the more advanced concepts within the book. Thus the book can be used to broaden your own knowledge of the risk world, both by familiarizing yourself with areas in which you lack experience and by enhancing your knowledge in areas that you already have expertise.

All authors are leaders in their field who between them have the expertise and knowledge, both practical and theoretical, to produce this definitive risk management guide.

The editors of this book, Marc Lore and Lev Borodovsky, are senior financial risk managers at Sanwa Bank (International) London, and Credit Suisse First Boston, USA respectively. They also run The Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP), the industry association for financial risk management practitioners and researchers.

Board of Directors Justin McCarthy, Chair Mihaela Capra Oscar McMcarthy Ken Radigan Robert McWilliam Robert R. Reitano Wilson Fyffe Jonathan Howitt Pierre-Yves Maurois Sanjay Sharma Ken Yoo Kraig Conrad Global Council Chair Fahad Zafar Carlos da Costa Pierre-Yves Maurois Dr. Ulrich Noegel Monika Smatralova Navin Sharma

The Professional Risk Managers' International Association (PRMIA) is a professional organization focused on the 'promotion of sound risk management standards and practices globally', and 'the integration of practice and theory';^[1] it was founded in 2002 as a non-profit.^[2] It provides certification and credentialing for professional risk managers, as well as other educational programs and resources.

Professional Risk Manager[edit]

The Professional Risk Manager (PRM) designation is an international professional certification offered by PRMIA.^[3] The designation was first awarded in 2004. The PRM is an 'independent validation' of skills within the financial risk management profession, additionally requiring a commitment to professional ethics. The PRM and the Global Association of Risk Professional's FRM are often compared as being the two definitive risk management designations in the industry.^[4][5][6]

Professional Risk Manager Certification

Candidates are required to pass four exams:

1. Finance theory, financial instruments and financial markets (2 hours)
2. Mathematical foundations of risk measurement (2 hours: calculus, matrix- and linear algebra, probability, statistics, and numerical methods)
3. Risk management practices (3 hours: risk management frameworks [capital allocation, regulatory capital, economic capital, capital adequacy], operational risk, credit risk, counterparty credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, FTP, ALM)
4. Case studies, PRMIA standards of best practice, conduct and ethics, bylaws (1 hour)

The exams are computer-based and the questions are all multiple choice; the passing grade is 60%. The exams can be taken in any order and must be completed over a period of up to two years; they are offered during four testing windows per year, each of three weeks.^[7] Individual exam pass rates are 54% for Exam II, 59% for Exams I and III, and 78% for Exam IV;^[8][9] with an overall of just over 65%.^[8] The PRM program recognizes other professional designations and gives partial credit to 'cross-over' candidates, as well as to graduates of select university programs. As of 2019, two papers will instead be offered, with differing requirements: the first two exams will be combined, and the second two.

The recommended reading material is the seven volume Professional Risk Managers' Handbook edited and authored by various practitioners and academics,^[10] including Salih Neftci and Paul Wilmott. PRM Online Training is available for those who wish to access customized online learning.

Minimum experience requirements are:^[11] four years without a bachelor's degree; two years for those with bachelor's degrees; no requirements for holders of a relevant graduate degree (i.e. MBA, MSF, MQF etc.) or of an accepted professional designation (CFA, CAIA, CQF, etc.). To maintain the designation holder's are required to complete 20 'Continuing Risk Learning' credits each year, to renew their 'Sustaining Membership', and to uphold the professional and ethical standards as defined by the PRMIA Standards of Best Practice, Conduct and Ethics.

Certificate programs[edit]

PRMIA offers various stand-alone certificate programs designed to give a 'focused' and 'practical' understanding of various areas of risk management.^[12] As for the PRM, the passing score for these is 60%. The computerized tests are offered on all business days. To maintain certification one is required to uphold PRMIA’s professional and ethical standards.

• The Associate PRM covers the core risk management concepts in a less mathematical fashion than the PRM, 'allowing non-specialists to interpret risk management information and reports'.^[13] A single 3 hour exam is required; the recommended text is The Essentials of Risk Management (ISBN0071429662).
• The Operational Risk Manager Certificate prepares managers to 'implement risk assessment initiatives, produce risk management information and understand basic modeling techniques'. The exam is 2 hours duration. Preparation is the practitioner-authored Operational Risk Manager Certificate Handbook. ORM Online Training is also available.
• The Credit and Counterparty Risk Manager Certificate focuses on a practical understanding of credit risk analysis frameworks within financial institutions. The program is designed to be relevant to credit risk staff, as well as to financial controllers, and compliance and legal officers. The exam is 2 hours duration. Preparation is the Credit and Counterparty Risk Manager Handbook.
• The Market, Liquidity and Asset Liability Management Risk Manager Certificate covers the areas of market risk, liquidity risk, and asset liability management, and similarly focuses on application in financial institutions. The exam is 2 hours duration. Preparation is the Market, Liquidity and Asset Liability Management Risk Manager Handbook.

Education and professional development[edit]

PRMIA offers training and development programs in finance and risk management worldwide.^[14] In the classroom, these are through open enrollment courses, and through company-specific, in-house, customized training. Electronically, the offering comprises over 700 short courses and 20 professional courses, numerous live and recorded webinars, as well other 'Risk Resources'. The association publishes the various books linked to its examination program, as well as others, and Intelligent Risk, its quarterly newsletter.^[15]
