Risk is inherent in the financial services businesses and activities. The extent to which a company properly and effectively identifies, assesses, monitors and manages the various types of risk involved in its activities is crucial to its soundness and profitability. The development and implementation of comprehensive policies and procedures to identify, mitigate, and monitor risk has become an imperative in many organizations.

Effective risk management requires the services of specialists: people with communication skills, sound judgment, and knowledge of the products and markets that require oversight.
