Essays in Banking and Risk Management

This thesis consists of three essays at the intersection of banking, corporate finance and macro- economics.

THE CHANGE BOOK

Although occasionally we like to try the new and different, on the whole, we humans resist change. We find comfort and a sense of confidence in the tried-and-true, in doing things the way we’ve always done them. Resistance to change is not unique to the individual. The groups, institutions and disciplines that we are part of also resist change. They often create barriers, sometimes inadverten…

Margins of Error in Accounting

was an articled clerk half a century ago I remember being amused by the letters ‘E&OE’ which used to appear on invoices, stand- ing for ‘Errors and Omissions Excepted’.

Accounts themselves can hardly ever be more than rough-and-ready interim esti- mates of a company’s financial progress. It was som…

ACCOUNTING WORKBOOK FOR DUMMIES

First of all, I have to admit that accounting has an image problem. Be honest: What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you see the word “accountant”? You probably think of a nerd wearing a green eyeshade who has the personality of an undertaker (no offense meant to undertakers, of course). Well, I’ve never worn a green eyeshade in my life, and I can assure you that I’…
