ABSTRACT
This work «Assessing the Impact of Risk Management in
Reducing the Risks of Financial Institutions in Cameroon» seeks to study
and evaluate the relationship between Risk Reduction strategy and the
profitability of Financial Institutions in Cameroon for the period 1997-2005.
Given the problem statement, does risk management have an
impact on risky shift through reduction of bad loans in the Cameroonian
financial system? The study was aimed at finding out whether Risk Management
relates negatively with profitability of financial institutions in Cameroon.
The null hypothesis were raised from the problem statement; Risk Management
does not affect effectively returns in financial institutions
Most of the data was collected through secondary sources found
in publications, books and internet. These data were analysed using the trends
analysis, table analysis, ratio analysis and standard deviation analysis to
verify the relationship between Risks Management and Return of Financial
institutions in Cameroon.
Risks Managers should try to keep adequate liquidity level in
order to meet some uncertain issues related to the withdrawals of funds or
bankruptcy.
