financial risk management
Definition
The process of evaluating and
managing current and possible
financial risk at a firm as a method of decreasing the
firm's exposure to the risk.
Financial risk managers must identify the risk,
evaluate all possible remedies, and then
implement the
steps necessary to alleviate the risk. These
risks are typically remedied by using certain
financial instruments as a method of counteracting possible ramifications. Financial risk management cannot prevent a firm from all possible risks because some are unexpected and cannot be addressed quickly enough.
