Intermediate Diploma Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, New College Durham, course: Risk Management, language: English, abstract: It is debatable if the of world is today more “risky” or more “dangerous” than in the past. Today there is a new mood of risk management and the current financial crisis represents the latest case study of a “financial tsunami” on what can happen if risks are not orderly managed. Scandals, disasters and failures challenge organizations; hence risks must be made auditable and manageable. Risk management organizes things that cannot be organized, because individuals, organizations and governments have no choice, but to accept this. Some of the risks can be pooled and redistributed via health and welfare systems. It is a matter of fact that the world is an unpredictable place and that uncertainty about the future, which could result in an adverse outcome, will always exist. Therefore risks require management.
