Enterprise Risk Management in a Nutshell

The purpose of this book is to fulfil a gap in the market for technical publications. At present the market has two types of book – those that try to tell you everything and others that try to tell you nothing. The first type of text is typified by a writer who is attempting to show the reader how clever they are by including a level of technical detail which can only be understood by technical people, such as the writer. The others try to dumb down the material to such a level that it provides nothing to anyone. This is not going to be a technical book. It will seek to avoid unnecessary jargon while explaining why enterprise risk management is more than just a clever idea; why in fact it makes sense for all firms. However, the book will stop short of telling you everything. That is for other books.
