Reviews

I was really excited by this book - and I am not a mathematician. With my basic understanding of business statistics and business risk management I was able to follow the arguments easily and pick up the jargon of a discipline akin to my own but not my own.

--Dr Sarah Blackburn, President at the Institute of Internal Auditors - UK and Ireland
