Customer Reviews

Expensive, but someworthwhile content
The information density of the first six chapters of this book is low; they basically contain descriptions of standard practice within the financial sector. However, the final three chapters do provide a good if brief introduction to the issues associated with cash-flow hedging in retail banks, how practice differs between Europe and the U.S.A., and what the impact of IAS 39 is in each jurisdiction.
