⟳ Another advice on Decision-making
As financial markets become more volatile and competition increases, banks and insurance companies need a clearer understanding of the risks they are taking to protect the physical, financial, human and intellectual assets of their companies. Catalyzed by Basel II, financial institutions around the world are taking a fresh look at managing market, operational and credit risk. In the process, they are redefining the role of risk management in achieving objectives and, ultimately, increasing shareholder value. Their main goal is not to eliminate uncertainty, but rather to be proactive in assessing and managing risk for their own advantage. Although uncertainty has always been a factor in corporate decision-making, financial institutions are now seeking a comprehensive, integrated approach to identifying and managing risks. The broader issues of risk have become a top priority on the senior management agenda and CFO, treasurer and risk officers are working to build risk management processes and embed them into management practices at all levels using special risk management software. On this page great thinkers provide risk management advice, hopefully inspiring those that are struggling in today's risky financial business.
