Corporate risk management refers to the methods that a company uses to minimize risk. These risks include financial loss, employee loss, information loss, and even customer and vendor relationship loss. Risk management can also refer to external threats, such as the fluctuations in the financial market that affect its stock price or financial assets.
The role of a Corporate Risk Manager is to assess these risks and help the companies they work for avoid potential problems. Risk managers are often responsible for the development and implementation of formal Quality Management and safety guidelines within their organization. Every industry has a unique set of risks, so managers must be keenly aware of the risks within that industry. They may establish processes for internal audits to ensure continued compliance and methods to track safety implementation systems.

Risk Managers are needed by companies looking to identify and reduce risks within their organization.
