Financial risk
Financial risk is the
possibility that shareholders will lose money when they invest in a company
that has debt, if the company's cash flow proves inadequate to meet its
financial obligations. When a company uses debt financing, its creditors are
repaid before its shareholders if the company becomes insolvent. Financial risk
also refers to the possibility of a corporation or government defaulting on its
bonds, which would cause those bondholders to lose money.
Financial risk is one of
the high-priority risk types for every business. Financial risk is caused due
to market movements and market movements can include host of factors. Based on
this, financial risk can be classified into various types such as Market Risk,
Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Operational Risk and Legal Risk.
