financial risk manager
Financial risk managers identify and assess potential risk areas threatening the assets or capital of organisations and give advice on how to deal with them. They specialise in either credit, market, operational or regulatory risk analysis. They use statistical analysis to evaluate risk, make recommendations to reduce and control financial risk and review documentation for legal compliance.
