For non-business risks, see

risk analysis. Risk management is the human activity which integrates recognition of
risk,
risk assessment, developing
strategies to manage it, and mitigation of risk using managerial resources. The strategies include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk. Some traditional risk managements are focused on risks stemming from physical or legal causes (e.g. natural disasters or fires, accidents, death and lawsuits).
Financial risk management, on the other hand, focuses on risks that can be managed using traded financial instruments.
