Risk is defined as the ‘effect of uncertainty on achieving objectives’, or more simply ‘any chance of loss’ that a business may incur. Risks are theoretical, and will always exist – although firms can manage the impact down, the risk will never go away.

Risks can be categorised into a number of sub-types, and in this risk management series we will explore:

• Financial Risk
• Conduct Risk
• Operational Risk

Financial risk is the possibility of losing money on an investment or business venture. Some sub-categories of financial risk include credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk. These will be explored in the course. Financial risk can have a profound impact on a firm, its clients, its staff, and the public, so understanding its sources is crucial to mitigating its consequences.

In this course you will learn about financial risk; what the FCA’s expectations are in relation to financial risk; how to meet those expectations, and what happens if financial risks are not properly managed.

This course is part of a series on risk management. You should take this course after you have taken the course on Risk Management: how to meet the FCA’s expectations. Other courses in the series cover conduct risk and operational risk.

This course has been designed to help people understand financial risk through real-life case studies and hypothetical examples. Learners will be assessed on their knowledge and understanding through a test at the end of the course.
