Major business decisions are always associated with certain risks. Your job as a risk manager is to analyse these risks. If you work in a bank, for example, you have to assess the credit default risk before a credit decision is made. In the case of mergers and acquisitions, you have to check whether this will result in the desired potential. And if a company wants to launch a new product, a detailed analysis of the competition and the financial risks is highly relevant. Regardless of the specific business field, it is always your goal to identify potential risks, evaluate them and develop scenarios to avoid them in order to prevent future damage to the company.
