rating agencies together with those actually implemented internally by credit practitioners from
financial institutions. Additional contributions come from regulatory bodies and academics involved

overview of what is currently available and will alert you to possible problems with individual
ratings systems.

requirements by presenting background information on the new Basel 'Internal Ratings Based
Approach' as well as drawing upon relevant case studies that have been carried out on banks
preparedness for this.
- Presents an up-to-date discussion on how corporate scandals, such as Enron occurred, together
with retrospective analysis of the behaviour of public ratings to them.

situations.
