Financial Risk Management Regulation Information
Overview
This website provides information on many areas affecting Financial Risk Management, both from a regulatory and best practices perspective.
Regulatory legislation is a big issue so we have provided the following main areas to cover the main legislation topics, (click on the left sub section menu to explore any of these areas).

The Financial Services Authority in the UK have produced the IPSB (Integrated Prudential Sourcebook).
The PSB is a single sourcebook that bring stogether Prudential Requirements for banks, building societies, investment firms, and insurers, including directive friendly societies. These will include the Basel II credit risk standards which are due for implementation in 2006.
Basel II credit risk standards- EuroZone & USA
The Basel II Accord is an initiative controlled by the Bank of International Settlements. Banks in the EuroZone are required to implement these rules in 2006. These rules beef up the financial framework of banks to make them more resilient to adverse financial changes in the world markets, and so lessening the risk of financial disasters.
