    Which of these establishments does not engage a financial risk manager? - ProProfs

    Which of these establishments does not engage a financial risk manager?

    • Asset management firms

    • Consulting firms

    • Banks

    • Food conservation companies

    Correct Answer
    A. Food conservation companies
    Explanation
    Food conservation companies do not typically engage a financial risk manager because their primary focus is on preserving and packaging food products. Financial risk management is more commonly required in industries such as asset management, consulting, and banking, where there is a greater need to assess and mitigate financial risks associated with investments, consulting services, and banking operations.

    Which of these is not related to financial risk management? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not related to financial risk management?

    • Quantitative analysis

    • Taxation

    • Valuation

    • Financial market

    Correct Answer
    A. Taxation
    Explanation
    Taxation is not directly related to financial risk management. Financial risk management involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating potential risks that could impact a company's financial performance. This includes risks related to investments, market fluctuations, credit, liquidity, and operational factors. Taxation, on the other hand, is a separate area that deals with the calculation and payment of taxes based on applicable laws and regulations. While taxation can have financial implications for a company, it is not specifically focused on managing financial risks.

    Explanation
    The Basel Accords are a set of international banking regulations that aim to ensure the stability and soundness of the global financial system. They primarily focus on capital adequacy, risk management, and supervision. While tracking, exposure of operational risk, and reporting are all important aspects of the Basel Accords, management of human error is not specifically mentioned as a reason for adopting these regulations.

    Explanation
    Inflation risk refers to the potential increase in the cost of goods and services over time.

Therefore, an increase in the risk of inflation can pose a threat to businesses and their ability to maintain their operations and profitability.

    • Economic theory

    • Finance theory

    Correct Answer
    A. Finance theory
    Explanation
    Finance theory encourages taking on a project if it improves the shareholder value. This theory suggests that the primary goal of a firm is to maximize shareholder wealth, and decisions should be made based on the financial impact they have on the company and its shareholders. By considering the financial aspects of a project, such as its potential return on investment and impact on cash flows, finance theory helps guide decision-making towards projects that are expected to create value for shareholders.

    Which of these does not involve using tools?

    • Quantitative analysis

    • Risk management

    • Operational risk measurement and management

    • Market risk measurement

    Correct Answer
    A. Quantitative analysis
    Explanation
    Quantitative analysis involves using tools and mathematical models to analyze data and make predictions. However, risk management, operational risk measurement and management, and market risk measurement all involve using various tools and techniques to assess and mitigate risks in different areas of business. Therefore, the option "Quantitative analysis" is the correct answer as it does not involve using tools.

The second type is funding liquidity, which refers to the ability to obtain funding or cash quickly to meet financial obligations. Understanding and managing these two types of liquidity is crucial in mitigating financial risks and maintaining financial stability.
