Financial Risk Manager Courses
Financial Risk Managers identify potential risks to an organisation’s finances, then develop contingency plans, strategies, and procedures to minimise the risk. They review risks to earning capacity, cashflow, investments and assets.
As a Financial Risk Manager you could be reviewing the company’s insurance coverage, advising the CEO on the best way to manage (and mitigate) a new risk to cashflow, or preparing a report about a change to Regulations and Australian Standards.
