What are credit rating agencies? Many people paying for ratings andratings reports do not fully understand what they are buying andhow these agencies really work. Ratings agencies wield immensepower over the fate of individual corporations, countries, andwhole economies, yet their workings are remarkably opaque.

In this comprehensive account of the workings of the ratingagencies, Andrew Fight explains the role played by ratings agencies, how ratings are obtained, the methodologies through whichorganisations are assessed and the wider consequences of thesedecisions.
