Back office and beyond / Mervyn J. King (2003)

Públic ISBD Títol : Back office and beyond : a guide to procedures, settlements and risk in financial markets Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Mervyn J. King, Autor Menció d'edició : 2nd ed. Editorial : Petersfield : Harriman House Data de publicació : 2003 Nombre de pàgines : 274 p. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-89759-724-8 Nota general : Inclou índex i bibliografia Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Finances Mercats financers Risc Classificació : 5 Mercats financers. Borsa de valors Resum : The 1st edition of Back Office and Beyond became the benchmark source and reference for 'best practice' in back office procedures. Better attention to back office procedures would have prevented disasters at Barings, Sumitomo, and other causes celebres - not to mention the latest debacle at Allfirst in the USA.This ground breaking book is an essential read for anyone wanting his/her organisation to thrive and survive, containing particularly practical guidance and advice and now extends its cover to the implications of CAD II. There is a compelling requirement for aspects of risk to be situated in the Back/Middle Office areas. Indeed, they should be involved at first base: for if data is not captured accurately, there is little chance of the institution's risk profile being accurate. With so many banks offering similar products and pricing, accurate and speedy settlements have become a competition issue not to be ignored. As an additional reason for purchase, this edition now offers a guide to Equities' settlement also.

Radical Uncertainty / J. A. (John Anderson) Kay (2020)

Públic ISBD Títol : Radical Uncertainty : Decision-Making Beyond the Numbers Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : J. A. (John Anderson) Kay, Autor ; Mervyn J. King, Autor Editorial : New York : W. W. Norton Data de publicació : 2020 Nombre de pàgines : 554 p. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-324-00477-6 Nota general : Ínclou bibliografia i índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Incertesa Classificació : 01 Ciència econòmica Resum : Some uncertainties are resolvable. The insurance industry’s actuarial tables and the gambler’s roulette wheel both yield to the tools of probability theory. Most situations in life, however, involve a deeper kind of uncertainty, a radical uncertainty for which historical data provide no useful guidance to future outcomes. Radical uncertainty concerns events whose determinants are insufficiently understood for probabilities to be known or forecasting possible. Before President Barack Obama made the fateful decision to send in the Navy Seals, his advisers offered him wildly divergent estimates of the odds that Osama bin Laden would be in the Abbottabad compound. In 2000, no one—not least Steve Jobs—knew what a smartphone was; how could anyone have predicted how many would be sold in 2020? And financial advisers who confidently provide the information required in the standard retirement planning package—what will interest rates, the cost of living, and your state of health be in 2050?—demonstrate only that their advice is worthless.The limits of certainty demonstrate the power of human judgment over artificial intelligence. In most critical decisions there can be no forecasts or probability distributions on which we might sensibly rely. Instead of inventing numbers to fill the gaps in our knowledge, we should adopt business, political, and personal strategies that will be robust to alternative futures and resilient to unpredictable events. Within the security of such a robust and resilient reference narrative, uncertainty can be embraced, because it is the source of creativity, excitement, and profit.
