Reporting and managing risk in Italian banks: beyond legal compliance

This thesis focuses on the issues related to the reporting and the management of risk in the banking sector, with specific reference to the Italian context. The thesis is oriented towards a deeper understanding on these issues, with especial attention to the importance of “to be compliant” with current regulation. In particular, the issues outlined above are addressed through the adoption of multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives, in order to progressively engage with the field of interest. The findings of this thesis have crucial implications from both the theoretical and practical perspective. Also, in providing a better understanding of the strategies of reporting and managing risk, the thesis represents an essential contribution also for context other than Italy.
