Books by Alessandro Carretta

The financial crisis was considered to a large extent attributable to excessive risk-taking by banks. This title provides added value to the actual debate on Governance, Risk, Accounting and Auditing pivotal issues, which are affecting the Italian and European banking and financial scenario.

This book explores risk culture in banks following the financial crisis. It analyses the role of national and institutional risk culture, market competitiveness, organisational systems and institutional practices that led to a weakening of risk culture in financial institutions leading up to the financial crisis.
