Risk Management
Risk Management
Finance is a business discipline that prepares students for entry into a variety of corporate roles and financial professions. All of these areas of engaging and challenging work address present-time decision-making for uncertain future outcomes and the planning for uncertainty events. In the investment area, this activity involves the measurement of the risk and the return associated with investments and the decision making for the investment of savings. In the insurance area, this activity involves the measurement and value assessment of uncertain events and outcomes that affect the normal activity and experiences of individuals and organizations. The identification, analysis, assessment, control, avoidance, minimization, and/or the elimination of unacceptable risks is risk management.
