FNCE 4909 - Corporate Risk Management

The ultimate goal of corporate risk management is to maximize firm value by shaping a firm’s risk profile. The risk management team identifies the type and level of risk exposure faced by their company. This helps the executive choose which risks to bear and which risks to transfer to other entities, in three basic ways: modifying the firm’s operations, adjusting its capital structure, and employing targeted financial instruments such as derivatives, insurance contracts, and structured financial products.
