A comment on recent losses at some banks

I alsobelieve that it is vital to have good risk management systems which allow you to assess the risk youare taking on through stress testing.

A comment on recent losses at some banks

I have interviewed at some of the banks that have recently posted huge losses in their credit derivatives businessesand I know for sure that some of them have appalling risk management IT systems.I am not surprised that they have posted losses on that scale. What do people think?
