Financial Risk Questionnaire
Every time you or your company invests in a new project or venture, it is classified as a financial risk. Spending money to make more money is a risk. Whenever analysts are called upon to verify the viability of an undertaking, they are supposed to come up with a report that is based on a financial risk questionnaire. This should spell out the key areas that will be of benefit and the conditions to be maintained to prevent a loss from occuring. Companies spend millions in research or marketing, hoping that this will attract more business and plough back more than what was spent initially. See a sample Financial Risk Questionnaire below;
