Financial Risk Management is a 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.
