The School of Library, Archival and Information Studies, the iSchool at The University of British Columbia, is pleased to announce the publication of a new book edited by faculty member Dr. Victoria Lemieux. Financial Analysis and Risk Management: Data Governance, Analytics and Life Cycle Management (Springer 2012) brings together researchers in distinct domains that seldom interact to identify theoretical, technological, policy and practical issues related to the management of financial records, information and data. Collectively, the work draws attention to weaknesses in financial records, information and data related to the 2008 global financial crisis, noting that these weaknesses have led to operational risks in financial institutions, flawed bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings following the crisis, and inadequacies in financial supervisors’ access to information needed for effective financial analysis and risk management.
