The phrase risk management is being used by various industries, that have formulated their own definitions. Look for a definition that clearly explains financial risk and give reasons why your chosen definition is the most appropriate.

The definition clearly states the fundamental of financial risk. Its the exposure of the investor, and the way debt is being funded. It also explains that financial risk is not limited to companies, but it also includes the decision of government and the reaction of the markets and what effect it has on the financial sector. 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.
