Financial risk is the exposure of a corporation to an event that can cause a shortfall in a targeted financial measure or value and includes market risk, credit risk, market liquidity risk, operational risk, and legal risk. This material discusses the four key processes in financial risk management: risk identification, risk assessment, risk mitigation, and risk transferring. The process of risk management involves determining which risks to accept, which to neutralize, and which to transfer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to the inside language of the world of derivative instruments and risk management Financial engineering is where technology and quantitative analysis meet on Wall Street to solve risk problems and find investment opportunities. It evolved out of options pricing, and, at this time, is primarily focused on derivatives since they are the most difficult instruments to price and are also the riskiest. Not only is financial engineering a relatively new field, but by its nature, it continues to grow and develop. This unique dictionary explains and clarifies for financial professionals the important terms, concepts, and sometimes arcane language of this increasingly influential world of high finance and potentially high profits. John F. Marshall (New York, NY) is a Managing Partner of Marshall, Tucker & Associates, a New York-based financial engineering and consulting firm. Former Executive Director of then International Association of Financial Engineers, Marshall is the author of several books, including Understanding Swaps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guide Book for all – Demystifying Myriad Global Financial TermsThe present day world is full of jargons. Though most of the concepts are known to us, the jargon or acronym seems to be new to us. For instance, the latest buzzword in Management is 'GRC'. The very word scars the readers. But when expanded as “Governance, Risk Management and Compliance”, we feel relaxed – Oh! It is so simple. Again most part of the world uses 'Cheque' as a banking instrument. U.S. has the habit of having its own method of spelling the words and it uses 'Check' in the place of Cheque in banking parlance. The Savings Account in banks is called as, Savings Bank Account/ Deposit in some of the world.
