Auditing Derivative Strategies (The IIA handbook series)

Auditors can help control derivative risk by understanding and knowing where to look. This book will help you do both. Derivatives don't kill companies; people misusing derivatives kill companies. This handbook will help you learn about derivatives and the controls needed in a derivative environment. It includes valuable information on forwards and futures, the options market, the swap market, and investment infrastructure. It identifies basic controls and "red flags" and provides a checklist and reference section with Internet addresses and suggested readings for obtaining more information.
