About Financial Risk Management

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

This unit sits in the Corporate Finance strand of Finance and banking. It is mostly mind maps, with flashcard decks, quizzes and notes alongside them. The topics run from the basic idea of risk to measurement and hedging.

  • Foundations: the flashcard decks RISK INTRO and Risk and Insurance cover definitions, uncertainty, severity and frequency, expected value and moral hazard.
  • Risk types: the Types of Risks in Banking deck looks at credit risk and liquidity risk, including why banks need liquidity.
  • Measurement: the Value at Risk quiz and the Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) mind map deal with confidence levels and the VaR formula.
  • Credit: the Ch 24: Credit Risk deck covers default probabilities, hazard rate and recovery rate.

Where to start

Begin with the note Foundations of FRM - Helicopter View. It sets out the broad risk categories, starting with market risk, which comes from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange. Then work through RISK INTRO and Risk and Insurance to fix the vocabulary.

Next, move to the types of risk. The mind maps on credit risk, market risk and liquidity sources give you a visual overview. Interest Rate Risk Management and Foreign Exchange Risk Management follow naturally.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Read a mind map on one topic, such as Credit Risk.
  2. Take a quiz on the same topic, for example Types and sources of risk.
  3. Note the questions you missed and go back to the matching flashcards.
  4. Repeat with the Value at Risk quiz once the basics feel steady.

The quiz on Value at Risk includes a portfolio example, so it suits practice with the calculation.

For exam candidates

Some resources mention FRM, and others mention ACCA AFM. The AFM maps on currency swaps and treasury and risk management techniques are useful for hedging topics. Most of the material is at university level, with a good share for professional candidates. Teachers can pick maps and decks to share with a class.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the note Foundations of FRM - Helicopter View, which outlines the broad risk categories, including market risk. Then use the RISK INTRO and Risk and Insurance flashcard decks to learn the core terms before moving on to credit, liquidity and Value at Risk.

What does the Value at Risk quiz test?

It asks about the multiple used for a 95 percent confidence level and the formula for calculating Value at Risk. It also includes a worked portfolio question. It is a good check after reading the Value at Risk (VaR) mind map.

Which exams do these resources relate to?

The listed resources mention FRM and ACCA AFM. The AFM material includes maps on currency swaps and treasury and risk management techniques. Most resources are written for university students and professional candidates, so check each one against your own syllabus.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover market risk, credit risk, liquidity causes and sources, interest rate risk, currency hedging, risk taxonomy and the risk management process. There is also a map on Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall, handy for linking measurement ideas to the wider topics.

What if I cannot find my topic?

Try a nearby map or deck first, as many cover several ideas at once. If the gap remains, a free account lets you build your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and saves your quiz scores too.
