Background of the Study
Risk management in financial institutions involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks to protect assets and ensure stability. Common risks include credit risk, operational risk, market risk, and regulatory compliance issues. Effective risk management is critical for sustaining trust and operational success in the banking sector (Okonkwo & Yusuf, 2024).
In Taraba State, banks operate in a challenging environment characterized by economic fluctuations, regulatory changes, and security concerns. Despite these challenges, some banks have implemented advanced risk management techniques to maintain stability and foster growth. This study evaluates these techniques and their effectiveness in managing risks (Ali & Musa, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
Banks in Taraba State face a variety of risks that threaten their stability and profitability. Poor risk assessment, inadequate compliance mechanisms, and external economic factors often exacerbate these challenges. While risk management techniques are critical, their implementation and effectiveness vary among institutions (Usman & Ibrahim, 2025).
This study aims to assess risk management techniques in banks, providing insights into practices that enhance stability and reduce vulnerabilities.
