two years ago, based on a
Global Risk Management
Research survey
conducted by Accenture.
Within the financial
services industry, the
major types of risk
assessed include: 1)
defaults on loans, 2) losses
on securities inventories
held by traders, 3) losses
on investment securities
held for the firms own

party risk.
According to the Bureau
