“The author has drawn on his significant personal experience and diligently created a high-quality reference document which helps readers unravel the many mysteries of the Basel requirements, and how these may in turn impact their businesses. Whilst the Basel requirements can be very technical, this book has filled a gap in that it explains them in an easy-to-follow way which will appeal to readers of differing experience from new recruits up to Board members”.

Peter Shaw, Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Risk Committee for Esure and Willis Ltd and, previously in similar roles at Aldermore Bank and Bank of Ireland UK.

“The author notes that the Basel framework has grown from 'a simple single document covering just credit risk to over 1,600 pages covering a range of risk types, a more robust supervisory framework and a wide range of disclosure requirements' . The need for a supporting text to complement this vast array of regulation is obvious.

This book provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of how this framework evolved, what constitutes its current incarnation and how the framework is put into practice by banks and other financial institutions of all sizes and jurisdictions. The provision of clear practical examples helps the reader absorb the technicalities of the regulations and see how the framework is applied in real settings.

This book is one that can be read from cover to cover or used as a reference text to aid understanding of specific issues. The author has filled a gap in the market with a comprehensive text that will provide support to a wide variety of readers from students of banking and finance, through to risk and finance practitioners up to executive and non-executive director level”.

Chris Sparks, Chief Risk Officer, Atom Bank

“Basel III by its nature is a wide ranging and at times dry and complicated. This book is a valuable and versatile resource being an extensive study with an easy-to-understand narrative across the whole topic. In addition, it is a handy reference tool for when one needs to revisit or check any specific area. A must have for risk professionals across all levels”

Paul Howard, Group Chief Risk Officer, Bank ABC

“In this excellent reference book the author fills a gap by guiding the reader through the key Basel regulations from their inception to the present day. It also provides a comprehensive overview of all the key Basel regulatory components and explains the reasons why they have had to continually evolve as they were simultaneously “put to the test” operationally during an unprecedented turbulent period in the history of the Financial Services industry. “

“Extremely well written. I found it fascinating - wish I'd had this when I was working so would recommend for those in customer facing as well as risk management roles!”.

Richard Garcka, former Head of Europe, Energy, Standard Chartered Bank

“There is a very good balance between the summary level information and the detail in the later chapters. The detailed chapters are very well structured, logical and smooth flow from one concept / rule discussion to another. Still very easy to read and the tables / examples are very helpful”.
