In the process of financing its projects, the enterprise may face several risks that may cause disruption or increase production costs. This risk is generally divided into three types:

A - In terms of goods in warehouses or raw materials, they are naturally subject to embezzlement or damage due to the length of storage time and not requested by customers or a fire inside the store.

All these are considered material risks that significantly affect the financial procedures of the institution and so that these revenues are reduced due to these risks.

B - The good management of the institution allows to achieve the expected objectives in the future or even to achieve better results and therefore the poor management of both ends of the project projectors cause the disruption of the completion time and the institution costs additional undesirable and the risks of management as technical risks.

The third type of risk is the economic risk, which is divided into two main types:

 

* The risk of a decline in the volume of demand for the final product or a decrease in the number of applications on the raw production produced for the enterprise and due to several reasons, including:

- Misjudgment of consumer desires and needs between lack of experience and lack of information.

- Big competition in the market.

- There is a shortage of goods produced. Any goods produced are valid only with complementary goods.

In contrast, there are several ways to avoid or reduce these risks, including:

- Set up reserves and budget allocations to meet any potential risk.

- In the case of misjudgment of the wishes of consumers can be met by agreeing on research and marketing studies.

- Insurance against theft, disasters and other insurance institutions.

2. Avoiding financing risks:

Financing risks are minimized and their impacts minimized in three ways:

A - The appropriate procedures that contain the special expenses:

Any type of risk can be reduced to some extent by increasing the expenditure on the precautionary measures. For example, the risk of interruption of production due to the shortage of a major material in the production may be eliminated if sufficient reserve is established from the stock of this material. New moving wheels are based on high-rise buildings so they resist earthquakes and of course require additional expenses

B - Converting the risk to regular costs and aggregating with similar risks Insurance:

The replacement of the results of the risks to the annual costs paid to the insurance companies undertake to compensate the latter for losses caused by any natural cause and paid in return for an annual payment called installment.

There are several types of natural hazards which can be gambling in the same way and convert them into regular annual costs through insurance and insurance such as fire hazards, floods, ship sinking and theft ....

However there are always two situations that must be available in order for the risk to be insured:

- The risk must be separate and independent.

- Risk should not increase.

C. Countering other risks in reverse:

Any risk of losses that accompanies profit opportunities is seldom found to find someone's loss useful for someone else.

well , in short answer , When an entity makes an investment decision, it exposes itself to a number of financial risks.

Risk of a company is related to its stock , Interest coverage and Debt service coverage ratio practically otherwise there are market risk, politcal risk Geo political risk, industry risk etc which are exteral factors to a firm and non diversifiable and uncontollable.

1. Risk of a stock is denoted by beta. It is the volatility of return of stock in accordance with market return. Market beta is considered1 and stock beta is compared to market beta for calculating volatility in returns of stock. For example if a company stock beta is1.2 it means that the stock is% more volatile or riskier than market return. A stock of beta0. means it is% less riskier than market return.

2. Risk is aaociated with interest coverage of a firm for example interest coverage ratio EBIT/interest gives information about the company whether it is generating enough core operating income to cover its fixed interest for bank otherwise may become a potential defaulter in short term. Debt service coverage ratio gives information about the company whether it is generating enough net income to cover its interest as well as principal payment. It is the long term liquidity position of the company.

3. Risk of a firm can also be evaluated from FCFF( free cash flow available to the firm). Higher the FCFF lower the risk associated and vice versa.

Hence while evaluating risk we basically consider short term and long term iquidity position of the company. Ratio analysis is a popuar tool for risk evaluation.
