Conclusion: 

10/09/09

The starting of this article was the observation that banks are [ by their very nature ] in risk business and that they conduct risk management as an empirical fact ; the combination of these factors constitutes a positive theory for risk management in banks. However the central role of risk in banking business is merely a necessary condition for the management of risks. We know that value maximization is the ultimate goal of banks, documentation and adequate awareness about the risk in generality of staff is necessary so as to make risk management a part of corporate culture of bank.
