Summary:The corporate risk management is an imperative necessity of the organizations, as the competitiveness and the current macroeconomic environment make them assume and increasingly face the risks while running their businesses. The way how organizations organize themselves differs from company to company, although all of them consider this an important issue. Taking into account the changing and uncertain environment that companies face nowadays, risk management is a key area for the success of any organization. So, the purpose of this study is to provide a literature review regarding risk and risk management, the main risk standards (ISO 31000, FERMA and COSO-ERM) and an analysis of few empirical studies concerning risk management. Furthermore, it will be presented a case study where the author will analyze the credit risk management process and risk control systems of a particular company.
