As risk-taking is an essential part of the banking industry, banks must practise efficient risk management to ensure survival in uncertain financial climates. Banking operations are specifically affected by fluctuations in interest rates which cause financial imbalance; thus banks are now required to put in place an effective management structure that incorporates risk management efficiency measures that help mitigate the wide range of risks they face. In this book, the authors have developed a new modelling approach to determine banks’ financial risk management by offering detailed insights into the integrated approach of dollar-offset ratio and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), based on derivatives usage. It further analyses the efficiency measurement under stochastic DEA approaches, namely (i) Bootstrap DEA (BDEA), (ii) Sensitivity Analysis and (iii) Chance-Constrained DEA (CCDEA). As demonstrated in the modelling exercise, this integrated approach can be applied to other cases that require risk management efficiency measurement strategies.Additionally, this is the first book to comprehensively review the derivative markets of both the developed and developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region, by examining the differences of risk management efficiency of the banking institutions in these countries.Based on this measurement approach, strategies are provided for banks to improve their strategic risk management practices, as well as to reduce the impacts from external risks, such as changes in interest rates and exchange rates. Furthermore, this book will help banks to keep abreast of recent developments in the field of efficiency studies in management accounting, specifically in relation to hedge accounting, used by banks in the Asia-Pacific region.

Corporate Governance Optimisation introduces an innovative approach to addressing some of the most pressing challenges in modern corporate governance. Combining game theory, mechanism design and hedge accounting, this research monograph offers a comprehensive framework for resolving agency conflicts, mitigating financial risks and improving organisational performance. At the heart of this book is an integrated model that unites governance, risk management and hedge accounting, demonstrating how these elements work together to address information asymmetry, incentive misalignment and decision-making complexities. Grounded in rigorous research and real-life data, the book provides practical insights into how hedge accounting can stabilise financial outcomes, support effective governance and enhance corporate value.Designed for academics, researchers and professionals in accounting, finance and corporate governance, this book bridges theory and practice, offering a robust foundation for understanding and applying advanced governance models. It is particularly valuable for those interested in how mathematical frameworks like game theory can be used to solve real-world corporate challenges. While rooted in financial optimisation, the book’s findings have broad implications for policy, strategy and risk management in diverse organisational contexts.
