    Non-financial risks faced by businesses include operational risks like natural disasters and fraud, as well as regulatory, legal, political, and accounting risks. Operational risk specifically refers to risks from internal failures or external events that affect processes, people, and systems. Non-financial risks can harm a company's reputation and are harder to control as they may involve external partners in the supply chain. Proper risk management includes segregating assets held by third parties, reducing counterparty risks, and establishing central counterparties and agreements to oversee transactions.
