Credit Risk is the "probability" of a borrower's default and the subsequent "Loss given default" (LGD).

IAs such, it mainly deals with two main parties: "The Lender" and "The Borrower". You may wish to refer to the "Basle Committee on Bank Supervision"  literature on the website of the Bank for international Settlements www.bis.org . Briefly, there are currently three accords that that committee has published as guidelines to the G20 country banks to adopt and deal with the main risks the bank (as a lender) may face and the extent of "Regulatory Capital" it should maintain. While Basle 1 & 2 mainly deal with there types of risk : Credit, Market and Operational. The latest accord Basle 3 recognizes another type of risk "Liquidity" and sets the rules of calculating the required "minimum" Capital to be maintained by banks as a buffer to face any potential materialization of one of the four risks.

 

Financial Risk, is a more wider concept and deals with any possible risk that might affect any business to meet its financial objectives and obligations. Hence, the variable elements included for any business depends on the type of risks the business might face and varies from one business to another. (e.g. a marine shipping agency may consider delays in deliveries due to weather conditions as a important element resulting in Financial risk and may opt to buy weather derivatives to mitigate the risk, while a port management company may consider  labour strikes of a more critical element  leading to a Financial Risk.
