REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE
RISK
Operational risk includes legal risk (making the enterprise subject to civil orcriminal penalties) and compliance risk (the risk that processes will not becarried out in accordance with best practices).Compliance risk is the potential for material losses and exposures arising from non-compliance. An organization that fails to act in accordance with standards set by its industry, laws, or its own policies can find face legal penalties.Regulatory risk refers to the potential negative impact on certain businesses due to a change in the laws and regulations in a country or region.
Because operational risks are more directly under the
influence of management than are strategic
risks, management is in a good position to mitigate such risks
proactively.
FINANCIAL RISK
Financial risks are connected to the financial health of
the company. Capital availability is one
of the most important financial risks. Financial risk can also
arise from volatility of foreign currencies,
interest rates, or commodity prices (inputs). Further financial
risks can result from concentration of
customers and receivables, lack of liquidity, and trading
activities. The need to comply with accounting
standards, financial reporting requirements, regulatory reporting
requirements, and tax
regulations introduces important financial risks, as
well.
POLITICAL RISK
Political risk is the risk an investment's returns could suffer as a result of political changes or instability in a country.Political risk can affect the operations and profitability of a business as directly and quickly as any financial, physical, or market risk factor. The impact of political risk is considered to be long-term because the risk rises over time, given the greater potential for events and changes over time. Although political risk is extremely difficult to quantify, companies and investors must examine and understand the potential for political risks by closely examining the location's history, political institutions, and political forces at work in the region. Political risk exists in every country around the globe and varies in magnitude and type from country to country. Political risks may arise from policy changes by governments to change controls imposed on exchange rates and interest rates
